We have more books available by this author!. 256 pp. "'These propositions may seem mild yet if accepted they would absolutely revolutionize human life.' With these words Bertrand Russell introduces what is indeed a revolutionary book. Taking as his starting-point the irrationality of the world he offers by contrast something 'wildly paradoxical and subversive' - a belief that reason should determine human actions. Today besieged as we are by the numbing onslaught of twenty-first-century capitalism Russell's defence of scepticism and independence of mind is as timely as ever. In clear engaging prose he guides us through the key philosophical issues that affect our daily lives - freedom happiness emotions ethics and beliefs - and offers no-nonsense advice. W.W.

190336082Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 1903. First edition of this foundational work of mathematics the first in English on the subject. Octavo original blue cloth titles to the spine in gilt. In near fine condition with light rubbing. From the library of philosopher and historian of mathematics Dietrich Mahnke dated June 1939 on front pastedown noting that the marginalia are those of the previous owner Professor Friedrich Kunke. Rare and desirable with noted provenance. In 1959 Russell wrote My Philosophical Development in which he recalled the impetus to write the Principles "It was at the International Congress of Philosophy in Paris in the year 1900 that I became aware of the importance of logical reform for the philosophy of mathematics. . I was impressed by the fact that in every discussion Peano showed more precision and more logical rigour than was shown by anybody else. . It was Peano's works that gave the impetus to my own views on the principles of mathematics." This work was supposed to be followed by a second volume that would explain entirely in symbolic terms the relationship of logic to mathematics. However after finding out that his mentor Alfred Whitehead planned to published a similar work Russell approached Whitehead about a collaboration. The result was Principia Mathematica published between 1910 and 1913. Cambridge University Press hardcover books
