In The Problems of Philosophy early twentieth century philosopher Bertrand Russell, creates a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Russell guides the reader through his famous 1910 distinction between knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description and introduces important theories of Plato, Aristotle, Rene Descartes, David Hume, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, and others to lay the foundation for philosophical inquiry by general readers and scholars alike.
Russell is generally credited with being one of the founders of analytic philosophy. He was deeply impressed by Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716), and wrote on every major area of philosophy except aesthetics. He was particularly prolific in the fields of metaphysics, logic and the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of language, ethics and epistemology. Focusing on problems he believed would provoke positive and constructive discussion, Bertrand Russell concentrated on knowledge rather than metaphysics. In line with this thinking Russell advocated The Will to Doubt, the recognition that all human knowledge is at most a best guess.
