Principia Mathematica to '56

Alfred North Whitehead

4/5 ( ratings)

The great three-volume Principia Mathematica is deservedly the most famous work ever written on the foundations of mathematics. Its aim is to deduce all the fundamental propositions of logic and mathematics from a small number of logical premises and primitive ideas, establishing that mathematics is a development of logic. This abridged text of Volume I contains the material that is most relevant to an introductory study of logic and the philosophy of mathematics . It contains the whole of the preliminary sections ; the whole of Part I ; section A of Part II ; and Appendices A and C .
