Bertrand Russell writes in his preface to The Problems of Philosophy that he has confined himself to those problems of philosophy in regard to which he "thought it possible to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative criticism seemed out of place." With this criteria in mind, Russell sets forth to outline proposed solutions as well as problems, paying particular attention to Platonism and empiricism.
As an empiricist, Russell starts at the beginning with this question: Is there any knowledge in the world that is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it? This, according to Russell, is where the work of philosophy begins. He covers topics such as reality, the nature of matter, inductive reasoning, truth, and the limits of philosophical knowledge.
As one of the greatest minds in Western philosophy, Russell's thoughts are profoundly informative and provocative and suitable for anyone wishing to expand his mind.
