書籍簡介

“世界上有什麼知識如此確定，以至於理性的人都不會懷疑它?”

哲學是試圖回答這些終極問題的一種嘗試，不是像我們在日常生活中那樣漫不經心地、武斷地回答，而是在分析了問題產生的方式和原因、澄清了這些問題所基於的假設和概念之後，用批判的眼光來回答。

這部經典著作，首次出版於1912年，作為對哲學探索的理論平易近人的介紹，從未被取代。它闡述了羅素對錶象與現實的區別、物質的存在與本質、唯心主義、認識與描述、歸納、哲學知識的限度和價值等問題的看法。

這本書包括了約翰·斯科魯普斯基的介紹，並將羅素的作品放在背景中，同時還提供了進一步閲讀的指南。

'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 de*ion, 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.

作者簡介

伯特蘭·羅素是二十世紀最重要的哲學家之一。他的主要興趣是數學基礎，他的三卷本《數學原理》(與阿爾弗雷德·諾斯·懷特黑德合著)是對從一系列簡單、不言自明的真理中推導出整個數學的經典嘗試。他還在哲學的其他領域廣泛著述，並發表了大量關於社會和道德問題的著作。

約翰·斯科魯普斯基，聖安德魯斯大學道德哲學教授，著有《英語哲學1750-1945》(1993)和《約翰·斯圖亞特·密爾》(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).
