Strictly reserved for the serious,
This review is from: Human Knowledge: Its Scope and Limits (Paperback)
To my knowledge, one of the best books ever written.
Russell's English has a wonderful, graceful clarity. But this is not an easy book to read. What does it mean to "know"? what do we know? how far can we be sure that we do in fact know? These are fundamental questions about human thought, and this book is an essential item in the library of anyone who is concerned with such questions.

A profound study of knowledge,
By Ernest Davis (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bertrand Russell Bundle: Human Knowledge: Its Scope and Limits (Routledge Classics) (Paperback)
Russell's "Human Knowledge: Its Scope and Limits" has had more influence on my own thinking than any other work of technical philosophy I have read. Russell is always a spectacularly readable and clear writer, full of vivid, well chosen examples, and with very little abstract argument or technical jargon. He is also, at least in this work, particularly sensible, realistic, and grounded in reality. I don't always find the answers he proposes adequate; but I do always feel that his questions and concerns are the right ones.
