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

In the following pages I have confined myself in the main to those problems of philosophy in regard to which I thought it possible to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative criticism seemed out of place. For this reason, theory of knowledge occupies a larger space than metaphysics in the present volume, and some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated very briefly, if at all.
