This book by Bertrand Russell came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Nick Kokonas. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
In the following pages I have confined myself in the main to those problems of philosophy in regard to which I thought it possible to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative criticism seemed out of place. For this reason, theory of knowledge occupies a larger space than metaphysics in the present volume, and some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated very briefly, if at all.
“I happen to love the problems of philosophy which berand Russell wrote sort of about Vicor Stein's ideas but before Vicor Stein published and it's written in plain language”— Nick Kokonas
