The Problems of Philosophy

"The Problems of Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell is a book that looks at the big questions about what we know and what is real. It questions if we can truly be sure of anything. Starting with a simple question, the story asks if there is anything we know beyond doubt. Imagine something familiar, like a table. What we see, feel, and hear about it might not be the whole truth. Our senses give us data, but is that data the same as the real thing? The book starts by differentiating our immediate sensory experiences from actual physical items, establishing the basis for further investigation.
