The Problems of Philosophy is one of Bertrand Russell's attempts to create a
brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on
problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion,
Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics.

Russell guides the reader through his famous distinction between
"knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description" and introduces
important theories of Plato, Aristotle, Rene Descartes, David Hume, John
Locke, Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel and others to lay the foundation for
philosophical inquiry by general readers and scholars alike
