1959117453London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd 1959. First edition of this work by the Nobel Prize-winning author in which he summarizes his philosophical beliefs and explains how they changed during his life. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Bertrand Russell on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon signed. Russell gives an account of his philosophical development. He describes his Hegelian period and includes hitherto unpublished notes for a Hegelian philosophy of science. He deals next with the two-fold revolution involved with his abandonment of idealism and adoption of a mathematical logic founded upon that of Giuseppe Peano. After two chapters on Principia Mathematica 1910-1913 he passes to the problems of perception as dealt with in Our Knowledge of the External World 1914. In a chapter on 'The Impact of Wittgenstein' Russell examines what he now thinks must be accepted and what rejected in that philosopher's work. He notes the changes from earlier theories required by the adoption of William James's view that sensation is not essentially relational and is not per se a form of knowledge. In an explanatory chapter he endeavours to remove misconceptions of and objections to his theories as to the relation of perception to scientific knowledge. George Allen & Unwin Ltd hardcover books
