Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
First published in 1903, Principles of Mathematics was Bertrand Russell’s first major work in print. It was this title which saw him begin his ascent towards eminence. In this groundbreaking and important work, Bertrand Russell argues that mathematics and logic are, in fact, identical and what is commonly called mathematics is simply later deductions from logical premises. Highly influential and engaging, this important work led to Russell’s dominance of analytical logic on western philosophy in the twentieth century.
Customer Reviews
print and layout puts you off
I have not managed to read this book fully .I only browse here and there to clarify any doubts.Needless to say Dr.Russell had done a marvellous job but the print odf the text so small it doesnot engage in getting you to read.The abstarct concepts compounded by the poor print doesnot go well.Hope someday I might be able to write complete review of the contents not withstanding the print.
