  19. An old book by Bertrand Russell (_The Scientific Outlook_, The Free
  20. Press, Glencoe, Illinois, 1931), has some very insightful comments
  21. on the nature of knowledge and how we justify what we think we know.
  22. This means knowing, not just about science, but about all personal
  23. experiences.
