The Problems of Philosophy
by Bertrand Russell
Publisher: Project Gutenberg 2004
ISBN/ASIN: 1936041812
Description:
In the following pages I have confined myself in the main to those problems of philosophy in regard to which I thought it possible to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative criticism seemed out of place. For this reason, theory of knowledge occupies a larger space than metaphysics in the present volume, and some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated very briefly, if at all.
