Re: Hallo everybody
Why would you need to define what a "fact" is? If an experiment is performed in a systematic way or a proof is logical, isn't that all you need to care about? Well, yes, but I am unsure we can call something "fact" when we know it can be disproved in the future. What is logical ...

Russell's definition seems too general The focus of his introduction was to explain what Philosophy is, not science. For that reason, I think he can get away with a weak definition.
