‘Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?’
Philosophy is the attempt to answer such fundamental questions, not superficially and dogmatically, as we might approach them in everyday life, but critically, analyzing how and why the questions arise and clarifying the assumptions and concepts on which they are based.
This classic work, first published in 1912, has never been replaced as an accessible introduction to the theory of philosophical inquiry. It provides Russell's views on topics such as the distinction between appearance and reality, the existence and nature of matter, idealism, knowledge through acquaintance and description, induction, and the limits and value of philosophical knowledge.
This edition includes an introduction by John Skorupski that places Russell's work in its appropriate context, as well as a guide for further reading.
