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
190397331Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 1903. First edition of Russell's groundbreaking work. Quarto original cloth. From the library of philosopher Augusta Klein with her annotations. Augusta Klein was an author and philosopher; co-author with William Ralph Boyce Gibson of The Problem of Logic. In near fine condition. During his days at Trinity College Cambridge Russell began an intense study of the foundations of mathematics in which he discovered "Russell's paradox" challenging the foundations of set theory. In 1903 he finished work the first volume of The Principles of Mathematics intending to complete the project in a second volume where he planned to cover "a symbolic account of the assimilation of mathematics to logic. "After finding out that his mentor Alfred North Whitehead planned to publish a work with practically the same subject matter he decided to collaborate with him instead thus the second volume was never published.
