Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge

Until this book was first published in 1969 no comprehensive treatment of Russell''s epistemology had appeared. It challenges assumptions held previously and draws attention to features of Russell’s later work. The analysis starts with Russell’s earliest views and moves from book to book and article to article through his enormous span of writing on the problems and theory of knowledge – this total evaluation and interpretation clarifies many of the common misunderstandings of his philosophy.
