David Bostock presents a detailed account and critical appraisal of the development of Bertrand Russell's philosophy from 1900 to 1924. He explores Russell's logical atomism, which applies logic to problems in the theory of knowledge and metaphysics and was central to Russell's work over this period.
This volume collects together all of Russell's philosophical papers inspired by his work with Whitehead on 'Principia Mathematica'.
Studies the central topics of Wittgenstein's philosophy prior to and within the first parts of the Tractatus, covering such subjects as objects, substance, states of affairs, elementary propositions, pictures, and thoughts. He concludes that analysis is reduction to what is basic not in experience but in reference, and argues that the Tractatus is concerned not with problems of knowledge but with problems of sense.
Bertrand Russell's philosophy of logical atomism has had a major influence on the development of analytic philosophy. The essential features of this atomism were presented in eight lectures delivered by Russell in 1919. This book is an exposition of those lectures for readers with minimal philosophical training, the aim being to provide a sound understanding of the problems which Russell addresses as well as an awareness of the acceptability of his proposed solutions. Easily grasped examples are used to aid the exposition, but over-simplification of difficult problems is avoided.
