The Problems of Philosophy is Bertrand Russell's accessible guide to analytic philosophy's ideas about the source, nature, and limits of knowledge. Russell gently guides readers though his distinction between "knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description" and discusses relevant theories from philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Locke, Kant, and Hegel.
