Riassunto

How do we know what we "know"? How did we �as individuals and as a society � come to accept certain knowledge as fact? In Human Knowledge, Bertrand Russell questions the reliability of our assumptions on knowledge. This brilliant and controversial work investigates the relationship between �individual� and �scientific� knowledge. First published in 1948, this provocative work contributed significantly to an explosive intellectual discourse that continues to this day.
