Russell, gnoseology, knowledge, scienceAbstract
Exposed in 1948, within his masterpiece on the scope and limits of human knowledge, the epistemological tenets that Bertrand Russell regarded as fundamental elements in the construction of scientific knowledge, are still worthy of a detailed discussion today. Throughout this article, these principles will be subjected to an orderly analysis from the perspective of the scientific advances that have occurred since then. Given the excellence of the author, it will not be surprising to see that Russell's gnoseologic postulates address some of the most controversial questions, still to be solved, in the theory of knowledge
