Riassunto

Our Knowledge Of The External World: As A Field For Scientific Method In Philosophy is a philosophical treatise written by Bertrand Russell in 1914. The book deals with the nature of knowledge and the methods used to acquire it. Russell argues that scientific method is the most reliable way to gain knowledge about the external world, and that philosophy should adopt this method in order to make progress. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the problems of philosophy, including the nature of reality, the problem of induction, and the relationship between mind and matter. Russell argues that these problems can be solved by adopting a scientific approach, rather than relying on metaphysical speculation. The second part of the book deals with the theory of knowledge, and examines the different ways in which we acquire knowledge. Russell discusses the role of sense perception, memory, and inference in the acquisition of knowledge, and argues that each of these methods has its limitations. He also discusses the role of language in shaping our understanding of the world. Overall, Our Knowledge Of The External World: As A Field For Scientific Method In Philosophy is a seminal work in the field of epistemology, and is considered one of Russell's most important contributions to philosophy. It is a challenging and thought-provoking book that continues to be studied and debated by philosophers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
