书籍简介

“世界上有什么知识如此确定，以至于理性的人都不会怀疑它?”

哲学是试图回答这些问题的一种尝试，不是像我们在日常生活中那样漫不经心地、武断地回答，而是在分析了问题产生的方式和原因、澄清了这些问题所基于的假设和概念之后，用批判的眼光来回答。

这部经典著作，初次出版于1912年，作为对哲学探索的理论平易近人的介绍，从未被取代。它阐述了罗素对表象与现实的区别、物质的存在与本质、唯心主义、认识与描述、归纳、哲学知识的限度和价值等问题的看法。

这本书包括了约翰·斯科鲁普斯基的介绍，并将罗素的作品放在背景中，同时还提供了进一步阅读的指南。

'Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?'

Philosophy is the attempt to answer such ultimate questions, not carelessly and dogmatically, as we might deal with them in ordinary life, but critically, after analysing how and why the questions arise and clarifying the assumptions and concepts on which they are based.

This classic work, first published in 1912, has never been supplanted as an approachable introduction to the theory of philosophical enquiry. 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.

作者简介

伯特兰·罗素是二十世纪重要的哲学家之一。他的主要兴趣是数学基础，他的三卷本《数学原理》(与阿尔弗雷德·诺斯·怀特黑德合著)是对从一系列简单、不言自明的真理中推导出整个数学的经典尝试。他还在哲学的其他领域广泛著述，并发表了大量关于社会和道德问题的著作。

约翰·斯科鲁普斯基，圣安德鲁斯大学道德哲学教授，著有《英语哲学1750-1945》(1993)和《约翰·斯图亚特·密尔》(1989)。

Bertrand Russell was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His primary interest was in the foundations of mathematics, and his three-volume Principia Mathematica (written with Alfred North Whitehead) is the classic attempt to carry out the programme of deriving the whole of mathematics from a set of simple, self-evident truths. He also wrote widely on other areas of philosophy, and published a large number of writings on social and moral issues.

John Skorupski is Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of St Andrews, and author of English-Language Philosophy 1750-1945 (1993) and John Stuart Mill (1989).
