Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy

Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy is Bertrand Russell's classic introduction to the ideas he posited with A. N. Whitehead in their seminal work Principia Mathematica. Writing for a general audience, Russell definitively shows his prowess as a communicator as well as a philosopher and mathematician. His rare ability to bring big ideas to ordinary people has allowed the Introduction, first published in 1919, to remain as lucid and important today as it was when it was first published. Cicero Press is delighted to reprint the second, 1920 Edition first published by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd, bringing the book back into circulation. We hope that both scholar and alike can benefit from Russell's unique genius.
