After completing the week’s assigned chapters of Russell’s The Problems of Philosophy as well as the other required readings for this week, you are asked to first summarize what you learned from reading Russell that week, and then, your main goal in this assignment beyond the summary is find connections between or tie together any theories, themes, concepts, important ideas, arguments, important observations, etc. you find in Russell’s work and the particular philosophical views and the general content covered in the other readings.This assignment is intended to result in a short, informal essay of around 400-500 words that requires no research; the only citations you will need will be the specific works you are drawing from in your summary and commentary.
