It gives Russell''s views on such subjects as the distinction between appearance and reality, the existence and nature of matter, idealism, knowledge by acquaintance and by description, induction, and the limits and value of philosophical knowledge.This edition includes an introduction by John Skorupski contextualizing Russell''s work, and a guide to further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction ; Preface ; 1.

It was this title which saw him begin his ascent towards eminence. In this groundbreaking and important work, Bertrand Russell argues that mathematics and logic are, in fact, identical and what is commonly called mathematics is simply later deductions from logical premises. Highly influential and engaging, this important work led to Russellâs dominance of analytical logic on western philosophy in the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eintroduction to the 1992 edition, introduction to the second edition, preface, PART I THE INDEFINABLES OF MATHEMATICS, PART II NUMBER, PART III QUANTITY, PART IV ORDER, PART V INFINITY AND CONTINUITY, PART VI SPACE, PART VII MATTER AND MOTION, APPENDICES, index","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48864572440919,"sku":"9780415487412","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780415487412.jpg?v=1722272547"},{"product_id":"the-practice-and-theory-of-bolshevism-9780851245416","title":"The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866053783895,"sku":"9780851245416","price":11.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"satan-in-the-suburbs-and-other-stories-9780851246284","title":"Satan in the Suburbs and Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866053849431,"sku":"9780851246284","price":11.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851246284.jpg?v=1722276822"},{"product_id":"german-social-democracy-9780851245706","title":"German Social Democracy","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884748255575,"sku":"9780851245706","price":33.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851245706.jpg?v=1722533291"},{"product_id":"german-social-democracy-9780851245713","title":"German Social Democracy","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884748484951,"sku":"9780851245713","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851245713.jpg?v=1722533292"},{"product_id":"nightmares-of-eminent-persons-and-other-stories-9780851246291","title":"Nightmares of Eminent Persons and Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884748845399,"sku":"9780851246291","price":11.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851246291.jpg?v=1722533293"},{"product_id":"let-the-people-think-a-selection-of-essays-new-thinkers-library-9780851246772","title":"Let the People Think A Selection of Essays New","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884749893975,"sku":"9780851246772","price":13.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851246772.jpg?v=1722533294"},{"product_id":"roads-to-freedom-9780851247144","title":"Roads to Freedom","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884750713175,"sku":"9780851247144","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"political-ideals-9780851247311","title":"Political Ideals","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884751270231,"sku":"9780851247311","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851247311.jpg?v=1722533303"},{"product_id":"the-abc-of-atoms-9780851249292","title":"The ABC of Atoms","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spokesman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884756644183,"sku":"9780851249292","price":14.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851249292.jpg?v=1722533327"},{"product_id":"on-education-9788130700182","title":"On Education","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBertrand Russell's \"On Education\" advocates for liberating children from blind obedience to authority through knowledge and love, believing it can transform society.
