About this Item

London. George Allen and Unwin, 1951. Early reprint; originally published in 1948. Hard Cover. Burgundy boards with red titles. Browning to endpapers. All edges dusty. Textblock is clean and unmarked. Condition. Almost Very Good or Good plus plus. Dustwrapper is unclipped but has quite a noticeable chip/tear at the head of the spine. There is another closed tear to the rear and is grubby overall. Better than good. How do we know what we "know"? How did we as individuals and as a society come to accept certain knowledge as fact? In Human Knowledge, Bertrand Russell questions the reliability of our assumptions on knowledge. This brilliant and controversial work investigates the relationship between individual and scientific knowledge. First published in 1948, this provocative work contributed significantly to an explosive intellectual discourse that continues to this day. We have lots of Rusell's other titles.
