The Problems of Philosophy

Meer over het boek

Focusing on knowledge rather than metaphysics, Bertrand Russell's 1912 work serves as a guide to the philosophical challenges of his time. He introduces the crucial distinction between 'knowledge by acquaintance' and 'knowledge by description,' encouraging productive discussion. Drawing on theories from prominent philosophers like Plato and Hegel, the book aims to establish a foundation for philosophical inquiry accessible to both scholars and the general public. While it does not provide definitive solutions, its relevance endures in contemporary philosophical discourse.
