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 this brief treatise, Russell gives us an accessible introduction to the problems that philosophy faces. By passing the more rounded questions of metaphysics, he cuts straight to the gears of how we experience the physical world.

Drawing from the works of the greatest minds in philosophical thought, Russell guides us through "knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description" and lays the foundation for further debate by future generations of minds.
