Problems of Philosophy

In this book, Bertrand Russell delves into the core problems of philosophy, particularly focusing on epistemology.

He examines the distinction between appearance and reality, the nature of matter, and the types of knowledge we can have.

Russell introduces concepts such as 'sense-data' and contrasts them with physical objects, questioning the existence of external objects independent of our perception.

He also discusses the theories of various philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and others, to lay the foundation for philosophical inquiry.

The book emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the value of philosophy in challenging common sense and habitual beliefs.
