A little about the book
Russell begins with familiar objects and asks what can actually be known about them. From there he considers knowledge, inference and the place of philosophy.
Russell works from recognisable examples before asking which claims those examples actually support. The result is useful for readers who want to see a philosophical problem develop through ordinary experience and then become harder to settle.

Things You May Not Know About The Problems of Philosophy
- A table appears early. Russell uses it to ask how appearance relates to reality.
- The work ends by asking what philosophy is worth. Its final chapter considers the value of pursuing questions that may resist certain answers.
