The Value of Philosophy is taken from the final chapter of Bertrand Russell's larger 1912 work "Problems of Philosophy". Russell devoted much of his life to making philosophy accessible to everyone, and here he guides us through the various problems that are addressed by philosophical inquiry. In this excerpt, he explains why we should even value the practice at all and why it is vital to both general readers and scholars alike.

To me this is like a rollercoaster of words put together that doesn't make much since. I read this to myself three times then I listened to it on this website and I still don't like it. Maybe studing philosophy isn't for me.
