Bertrand Russell
"The value of philosophy is . . . to be sought largely in its very uncertainty.
The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived
from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age or his nation, and from convictions
which have grown up in his mind without the co-operation or consent of his deliberate reason. To
such a man the world tends to become definite, finite, obvious; common objects rouse no
questions, and unfamiliar possibilities are contemptuously rejected. As soon as we begin to
philosophize, on the contrary, we find . . . that even the most everyday things lead to problems to
which only very incomplete answers can be given. Philosophy, though unable to tell us with
certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities
which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom. Thus, while diminishing
our feeling of certainty as to what things are, it greatly increases our knowledge as to what they
may be; it removes the somewhat arrogant dogmatism of those who have never travelled into the
region of liberating doubt, and it keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familiar things in an
unfamiliar aspect." Bertrand Russell: The Problems of Philosophy, p. 157

It was Bertrand Russell's Unpopular Essays collection that first got me interested in philosophy thirty years ago, and I've never regretted it. He has remained in the top three of "my favorite philosophers" ever since (the other two are probably Walter Kaufmann and Henry Thoreau).
Here's my tiny, tiny Bertrand Russell collection. The only "unique" item is my selection of quotes from the works of Russell.
Quotes from Bertrand Russell, selected by Alan Nicoll, with some comments and brief book reviews
Political Ideals, a short, inspiring essay that Russell wrote in 1917.
