An Enquiry into Meaning and Truth – Bertrand Russell (Pelican Paperback, 1962)

An Enquiry into Meaning and Truth explores the relationship between language, perception, and reality. Originating from Bertrand Russell’s 1940 William James Lectures at Harvard University, this landmark work in 20th-century analytic philosophy investigates how words acquire meaning, how knowledge is derived from sensory experience, and what it truly means for a statement to be "true."
