THE PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY by Bertrand Russell is an excellent foray into the world of philosophy, enjoyable even for the novice. Russell presents philosophy as endlessly intriguing subject, one which causes you to consider things you may have never thought of before. While containing no easy answers, THE PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY poses a myriad of questions which can force one to doubt, and even reexamine, one's beliefs--even those which previously seemed so resolute. Russell guides the reader through his famous 1910 distinction between "knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description" and introduces important theories of Plato, Aristotle, René Descartes, David Hume, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, G. W. F. Hegel and others to lay the foundation for philosophical inquiry by general readers and scholars alike. Written in a lucid, unpretentious manner, THE PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY is a great book for those who wish to gain a better understanding of themselves and their surroundings. Exceptional in its quality, THE PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY is an excellent choice to get you started on the journey towards the ever elusive Truth.

The Problems of Philosophy

RUSSELL

Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it? This question, which at first sight might not seem difficult, is really one of the most difficult that can be asked. When we have realized the obstacles in the way of a straightforward and confident answer, we shall be well launched on the study of philosophy—for philosophy is merely the attempt to answer such ultimate questions, not carelessly and dogmatically, as we do in ordinary life and even in the sciences, but critically, after exploring all that makes such questions puzzling, and after realizing all the vagueness and confusion that underlie our ordinary ideas.

The Problems Of Philosophy

British philosopher Bertrand Russell made a number of significant contributions to the field, including helping to found the area of inquiry known as analytical philosophy and advancing the practice of logic. He also helped to influence the development of the philosophy of science by focusing on empiricism in new ways. The underpinnings of Russell's views on science and metaphysics are set forth in Our Knowledge of the External World as a Field for Scientific Method in Philosophy.

It uses a vast amount of Mexican and Spanish documentation that allows us to reconstruct the characteristics financial administration, the officers control on tax collections and the control the imperial and viceroyalty had over these officials. The most fascinating chapters are about the analysis of these royal officialss career, their family, social and client relationships as well as their own relationships to viceroyalty power.</p>
