Principles of Mathematics. Illustrated
About this book
First published in 1903, The Principles of Mathematics is a groundbreaking work by Bertrand Russell, one of the most influential philosophers and logicians of the 20th century. In this ambitious and highly original volume, Russell seeks to demonstrate that all of mathematics can be derived from a set of logical principles—a bold attempt to establish a solid foundation for the discipline.
Exploring the relationship between logic and mathematics, Russell addresses key topics such as number, quantity, order, infinity, and continuity, laying the groundwork for what would later become mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. His rigorous analysis also anticipates many of the ideas he would later develop with Alfred North Whitehead in Principia Mathematica.
Though challenging, The Principles of Mathematics remains a vital text for anyone interested in the philosophy of mathematics, logic, or the history of modern thought. It is both a profound intellectual achievement and a fascinating window into the early efforts to understand the logical structure of mathematical truth.
