The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell "Problems of Philosophy" is one of Bertrand Russell's attempts to create a concise and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on various issues he believes will cause a positive and constructive discussion. Russell focuses on knowledge and not on metaphysics. It gives the reader a distinction between "knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description", and introduces important theories of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, David Hume, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel and others to lay the foundation of philosophical inquiry as readers and scholars. Our knowledge of what is achievable in two ways: knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description. Our knowledge through knowledge lead to immediate realization of our own experience. Knowledge by acquaintance is logically independent of any knowledge of truths. Knowledge by description is based on something we are familiar with, thanks to the data to which we have access, and some knowledge of truths, such as the description: "such and such sensory data due to the physical object." Thus, knowledge of description allow us to infer knowledge about things we never had through things with which we have direct acquaintance. Idealism is the philosophical view that "exists independently, or in any case, any knowledge must be in some sense of the psyche." Russell rejects idealism, because he believes that the arguments for idealism based on wrong thinking. Arch-idealist, Bishop Berkeley, refer to two different things, using the same word "idea." One of them is the thing that we know and the other part is the actual act of arrest. Russell says that idealists confused the meaning of the "idea" of restless mental sense. Instead, Russell advocates the theory of knowledge, where there are things independently of our consciousness, and constitute the physical world of matter.

Anthropology is a disciplined inquiry into the conditions and potentials of human life. Generations of theorists, however, have expunged life from their accounts, treating it as the mere output of patterns, codes, structures or systems variously defined as genetic or cultural, natural or social. Building on his classic work The Perception of the Environment, Tim Ingold sets out to restore life to where it should belong, at the heart of anthropological concern. Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials, what it means to make things, the perception and formation of the ground, the mingling of earth and sky in the weather-world, the experiences of light, sound and feeling, the role of storytelling in the integration of knowledge, and the potential of drawing to unite observation and description. Our humanity, Ingold argues, does not come ready-made but is continually fashioned in our movements along ways of life. Starting from the idea of life as a process of wayfaring, Ingold presents a radically new understanding of movement, knowledge and description as dimensions not just of being in the world, but of being alive to what is going on there.

'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.

by D. M. Armstrong In the history of the discussion of the problem of universals, G. F. Stout has an honoured, and special. place. For the Nominalist, meaning by that term a philosopher who holds that existence of repeatables - kinds, sorts, type- and the indubitable existence of general terms, is a problem. The Nominalist's opponent, the Realist, escapes the Nominalist's difficulty by postulating universals. He then faces difficulties of his own. Is he to place these universals in a special realm? Or is he to bring them down to earth: perhaps turning them into repeatable properties of particulars (universalia in res), and repeatable relations between universals (universalia inter res)? Whichever solution he opts for, there are well-known difficulties about how particulars stand to these universals. Under these circumstances the Nominalist may make an important con cession to the Realist, a concession which he can make without abandoning his Nominalism. He may concede that metaphysics ought to recognize that particulars have properties (qualities, perhaps) and are related by relations. But, he can maintain, these properties and relations are particulars, not universals. Nor, indeed, is such a position entirely closed to the Realist. A Realist about universals may, and some Realists do, accept particularized properties and relations in addition to universals. As Dr. Seargent shows at the beginning of his book. a doctrine of part icularized properties and relations has led at least a submerged existence from Plato onwards. The special, classical.
