Description
The Problems of Philosophy 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.
Russell guides the reader through his famous 1910 distinction between "knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description" and introduces important theories of Plato, Aristotle, Ren? Descartes, David Hume, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel and others to lay the foundation for philosophical inquiry by general readers and scholars alike.

A fantastic read. A truly amazing book so far! Captivating topics and excellent use of language. Now, I'm only 14, and this is probably the best book I have ever read.

Accessible and great It is such an easy read that someone who is not familiar with philosophical concepts can digest the contents. It was written for people like me :)

Good reading material, usable format. Surprisingly advanced animation. Be prepared for a trip through frightening and mindtwisting ideas about reality
