A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Problems of Philosophy, written by Bertrand Russell and published in 1912, is considered to be one of the best introductions to philosophy. In this book Russell also presents why he believes philosophy has been very important to the development of society as we know it. Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, logician, and mathematician. Russell was one of the leaders in the British "revolt against idealism" and he is credited for being one of the founders of analytic philosophy. In 1950 Russell received the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Problems of Philosophy (1912) is one of Bertrand Russell's attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics: If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability. There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data.
