Principles Of Mathematics (eBook)

The Principles of Mathematics, Russell’s fourth book, was first published in 1903; it was reprinted unchanged in 1937 with a new introduction. The original edition was the first member in one of two series of books that Russell proposed to write during his lifetime.

In the first volume of his Autobiography (1967), covering the years 1872 to 1914, he recollected one of the most important days of his life: “I remember a cold bright day in early spring when I walked by myself in the Tiergarten, and made projects of future work. I thought that I would write one series of books on the philosophy of the sciences from pure mathematics to physiology, and another series of books on social questions. I hoped that the two series might ultimately meet in a synthesis at once scientific and practical.
