The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell TPB Oxford Press 1981

Description: The Problems of PhilosophyBertrand RussellTrade Paperback In this little book Bertrand Russell has provided an intelligible and stimulating guide to a branch of knowledge which is often mistakenly considered too abstruse for the lay mind. He has confined himself chiefly to those problems of philosophy concerning which he thought it possible to say something positive and constructive. For this reason, theory of knowledge occupies a larger space than metaphysics, and some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated briefly. 'The work is concise, free from technical terms and perfectly clear to the general reader with no prior knowledge of the subject.' The Booklist of The American Library Association 'Treats its subject in a way that will arouse the interest of any one who has any latent ability to become interested in it.'-TheNew York Times BERTRAND RUSSELL, O.M., M.A., F.R.S., English philosopher and mathematician who died in 1970, was a graduate and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge University, where he taught for many years. He also lectured widely in the United States. In 1950 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. He is the author of many books, including Religion and Science (GB 50) and (with Alfred North Whitehead) the influential Principia Mathematica, as well as The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell 1872-1967, published in three volumes.A GALAXY BOOKOXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, NEW YORKCover design by Egon LauterbergISBN 0-19-500212-1
