About this Item

8vo. [7], viii-xxi, [2], 2-193, [1] pp. Grey cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Scots Philosophical Monograph Number Two. Series editors Andrew Brennan & William Lyons. Difficult to find in collectible condition, this work is responsible for the revival of the logicism originally proposed by Frege in Grundgesetze der Arithmetik. Frege s work was famously undermined by the paradox discovered by Russell (and independently by Zermelo). Wright and others have proposed a fix for Frege s theory by replacing the notorious Basic Law V with Hume s Principle. Neo-Fregeanism or neo-logicism continues to be actively debated in the philosophy of mathematics and this is an attractive copy of a key work in that area. The front board gently bowed, the top textblock mildly toned; jacket's flaps are toned.
