Problem
Provide a clear account of the tension between philosophy's merely apparent uncertainty and what Russell claims philosophy can do. How do we make sense of this apparent contradiction in Russell's definition of philosophy? After answering the question of what philosophy can do according to Russell, explore his idea of the tyranny of custom. Provide a clear account of what Russell means by the tyranny of custom. Can you provide at least two examples of how the tyranny of custom arises in your life?
