The Problems of Philosophy is a book written by Bertrand Russell in 1912,
which aims to provide a brief and accessible guide to the problems of
philosophy. Russell introduces philosophy as a series of failed attempts to
answer the same questions, such as whether we can prove the existence of an
external world, cause and effect, and morality. He argues that philosophy
cannot answer these questions and that its value must lie elsewhere. Russell
focuses on knowledge rather than metaphysics, and guides the reader through
his distinction between knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by
description. He also introduces important theories of philosophers such as
Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Locke, Kant, and Hegel. The book is
intended for general readers and scholars alike, and Russell has confined
himself to those problems of philosophy in which he thought it possible to say
something positive and constructive. The theory of knowledge occupies a larger
space than metaphysics in the book, and some topics much discussed by
philosophers are treated very briefly, if at all. The book is available in the
public domain as an audiobook and an e-book.
