Philosophy by Bertrand Russell
Publishing: 1927 W.W. Norton & Co. first edition first printing
First American edition originally published in Great Britain under the title Outline to Philosophy. The work was controversial within philosophic circles. Bertrand Russell presents the idea that humanity serves as the primary means through which we gain insight into the universe. He distinguishes contemporary scientific understanding from our subjective awareness, offering insights into philosophical viewpoints that remain influential in shaping discussions about the purpose, significance, and role of philosophy in modern times. Although his theories were primarily based on logical principles, Russell’s works have been of interest among esotericists due to his interest in the relationship between mystical experiences and science.
