About this title

Synopsis

The Principia Mathematica has long been recognised as one of the intellectual landmarks of the century.

Book Description

Principia Mathematica was the first book to show clearly the close relationship between mathematics and formal logic. Starting from a minimal number of axioms, Whitehead and Russell display the structure of both kinds of thought. No other book has had such an influence on the subsequent history of mathematical philosophy.
