Description

Intelligible and stimulating, The Problems of Philosophy addresses many issues which have continually surfaced in the field of philosophy. It covers topics such as reality, the nature of matter, inductive reasoning, truth, and the limits of philosophical knowledge. Russell prefers knowledge over metaphysics in his elucidation. Written in 1912, The Problems of Philosophy is as provocative today as it was in the era of its first publication.

About the Author

Bertrand Arthur William Russell was born at Trelleck on 18th May, 1872. His parents were Viscount Amberley and Katherine, daughter of 2nd Baron Stanley of Alderley. At the age of three he was left an orphan. His father had wished him to be brought up as an agnostic; to avoid this he was made a ward of Court, and brought up by his grandmother. Instead of being sent to school he was taught by governesses and tutors, and thus acquired a perfect knowledge of French and German. In 1890 he went into residence at Trinity College, Cambridge, and after being a very high Wrangler and obtaining a First Class with distinction in philosophy he was elected a fellow of his college in 1895. But he had already left Cambridge in the summer of 1894 and for some months was attaché at the British embassy at Paris.
