Question

According to Bertrand Russell, we should study philosophy because: a. philosophy tells us what to do when we are in trouble.

b. by narrowing our minds, philosophy helps us concentrate on fewer, more important, problems.
c. this is the only way we can justify our religious beliefs.
d. philosophy enlarges our minds and reduces our dogmatic perception of reality.

Answer 1

(D). philosophy enlarges our minds and reduces our dogmatic perception of reality.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Bertrand Russell, without philosophy, people are limited in their views of life and only accept ideas and knowledge that are common and familiar.

He believes studying philosophy opens up the mind to question existing beliefs, knowledge and customs and allows us see different possibilities of reality.
