‎The uncommon first edition of Russell's landmark work in mathematical logic, in which theory of logicism is put forth and in which Russell introduces that which is now known as ""Russell's Paradox"". The work constitutes the forerunner of Russell and Whitehead's monumental ""Principia Mathematica"", and it seminally influenced logical thought and theories of the foundations of mathematics at this most crucial time for the development of modern mathematical and philosophical logic.""The present work has two main objects. One of these, the proof that all pure mathematics deals exclusively with concepts definable in terms of a very small number of fundamental logical concepts, and that its propositions are deducible from a very small number of fundamental logical principles, is undertaken in Parts II. - VI. Of this Volume, and will be established by strict symbolic reasoning in Volume II. ... The other object of the work, which occupies Part I., is the explanation of the fundamental concepts which mathematics accepts as indefinable. ..."" (Russell, Preface, p. (III)).At the age of 27, in 1898, Russell began working on the book that became ""The Principles of Mathematics"". He originally set out to investigate the contradiction that is inherent in the nature of number, and he originally imagined doing this from a Hegelian standpoint. However, after having read Whitehead's ""Universal Algebra"", Russell gave up his Hegelian approach and began working on a book that was to be entitled ""An Analysis of Mathematical Reasoning"". This book never appeared, as he gave it up in 1900, but much of it is what lies at the foundation of ""The Principles of Mathematics"". After having attended a congress in Paris in 1899, where Peano was present, Russell began rewriting large parts of the work, now with the aim of proving that all of mathematics could be reduced to a few logical concepts, that that which is called mathematics is in reality nothing but later deductions from logical premises. And thus he had developed his landmark thesis that mathematics and logic are identical"" a thesis that came to have a profound influence on logic and the foundations of mathematics throughout the 20th century.Since the congress, Russell had worked with the greatest of enthusiasm, and he finished the manuscript on the 31st of December 1900. However, in the spring of 1901, he discovered ""The Contradiction"", or as it is now called, ""Russell's Paradox"". Russell had been studying Cantor's proof, and in his own words, the paradox emerged thus: ""Before taking leave of fundamental questions, it is necessary to examine more in detail the singular contradiction, already mentioned, with regard to predicates not predictable of themselves. Before attempting to solve this puzzle, it will be well to make some deductions connected with it, and to state it in various different forms. I may mention that I was led to endeavour to reconcile Cantor's proof that there can be no greatest cardinal number with the very plausible supposition that the class of all termes (which we have seen to be essential to all formal propositions) has necessarily the greatest possible number of members."" (p. 101). The class of all classes that are not members of themselves, is this class a member of itself or not? The question was unanswerable (if it is, then it isn't, and if it isn't, then it is) and thus a paradox, and not just any paradox, this was a paradox of the greatest importance. Since, when using classical logic, all sentences are entailed by contradiction, this discovery naturally sparked a huge number of works within logic, set theory, foundations of mathematics, philosophy of mathematics, etc. Russell's own solution to the problem was his ""theory of types"", also developed in 1903.In December 1902 Russell had come to the point where he could write a preface, and the book finally appeared in May 1903. It was printed in merely 1.000 copies, and although it was well received, it was not a bestseller at its appearance. By 1909 the last copies of the first run were at the bookbinders. However, the book did play an enormous role in the development of mathematical and philosophical logic as well as the foundation of mathematics throughout the 20th century. Wittgentein's immense interest in the philosophy of logic stems from his reading of the present work and from Frege's ""Foundations of Arithmetic"", and no logician could neglect the impact of this seminal work, which still counts as one of the most important philosophical and logical works of the 20th century. The book also played an important part in spreading the works of Cantor and Frege to the English-speaking world. In 1903 the Spectator wrote ""we should say that Mr. Russell has an inherited place in literature or statesmanship waiting for him if he will condescend to come down to the common day."" Shearman's review in Mind hailed it as the most important work since Boole's ""Laws of Thought"". ""Bertrand Arthur William Russell (b.1872 - d.1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist, and social critic, best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. His most influential contributions include his defense of logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic), and his theories of definite descriptions and logical atomism. Along with G.E. Moore, Russell is generally recognized as one of the founders of analytic philosophy. Along with Kurt Gödel, he is also regularly credited with being one of the two most important logicians of the twentieth century."" (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).Russell had actually planned to write a second volume of the work, but as the contents of this further development would overlap considerably with the further research that Whitehead had undertaken after his ""Universal Algebra"", which he also planned two write a second volume of, the two great logicians decided to collaborate on that which became the ""Principia Mathematica"", which appeared 1910-13. ‎

‎First printing of Russell's obituary of Wittgentstein. Russell described him as ""the most perfect example I have ever known of genius as traditionally conceived, passionate, profound, intense, and dominating"".The two meet in 1910 at the University of Cambridge where Russell was approached by the Austrian engineering student Ludwig Wittgenstein, who became his PhD student. Russell viewed Wittgenstein as a genius and a successor who would continue his work on logic. He spent hours dealing with Wittgenstein's various phobias and his frequent bouts of despair. This was often a drain on Russell's energy, but Russell continued to be fascinated by him and encouraged his academic development, including the publication of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus in 1922: From the present obituary: ""I naturally lost sight of him during the 1914-1918 war, but I got a letter from him soon after the armistice, written from Monte Casino. He told me that he had been taken prisoner, but fortunately with his manuscript, which was the 'Tractatus'. I pulled strings to get him released by the Italian Government and we met at the Hague, where we discussed 'Tractatus' line by line.‎

‎ 1st edition, 1948 Contents, Chapitres : About the so-called Russellian paraxodes of impredicable (Not predicable of one's self), and of the class of all classes that do not contain themselves as their own elements (Bertrand Russell, Principles of Mathematics) - Le paradoxe de Russell, ou antinomie de Russell, est un paradoxe très simple de la théorie des ensembles (Russell lui-même parle de théorie des classes, en un sens équivalent), qui a joué un rôle important dans la formalisation de celle-ci. Il fut découvert par Bertrand Russell vers 1901 et publié en 1903. Il était en fait déjà connu à Göttingen, où il avait été découvert indépendamment par Ernst Zermelo, à la même époque, mais ce dernier ne l'a pas publié. - On peut formuler le paradoxe ainsi : l'ensemble des ensembles n'appartenant pas à eux-mêmes appartient-il à lui-même ? Si on répond oui, alors, comme par définition les membres de cet ensemble n'appartiennent pas à eux-mêmes, il n'appartient pas à lui-même : contradiction. Mais si on répond non, alors il a la propriété requise pour appartenir à lui-même : contradiction à nouveau. On a donc une contradiction dans les deux cas, ce qui rend paradoxale l'existence d'un tel ensemble.

‎The seminal first edition of the first volume of the landmark work that founded modern mathematical logic and came to define research in the foundations of mathematics throughout the 20th century. ""Principia Mathematica"" proved to be remarkably influential in at least three ways. First, it popularized modern mathematical logic to an extent undreamt of by its authors. By using a notation superior to that used by Frege, Whitehead and Russell managed to convey the remarkable expressive power of modern predicate logic in a way that previous writers had been unable to achieve. Second, by exhibiting so clearly the deductive power of the new logic, Whitehead and Russell were able to show how powerful the idea of a modern formal system could be, thus opening up new work in what soon was to be called metalogic. Third, Principia Mathematica re-affirmed clear and interesting connections between logicism and two of the main branches of traditional philosophy, namely metaphysics and epistemology, thereby initiating new and interesting work in both of these areas.As a result, not only did Principia introduce a wide range of philosophically rich notions (including propositional function, logical construction, and type theory), it also set the stage for the discovery of crucial metatheoretic results (including those of Kurt Gödel, Alonzo Church, Alan Turing and others). Just as importantly, it initiated a tradition of common technical work in fields as diverse as philosophy, mathematics, linguistics, economics and computer science."" (SEP)""""Principia Mathematica"", the landmark work in formal logic written by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, was first published in three volumes in 1910, 1912 and 1913. A second edition appeared in 1925 (Volume 1) and 1927 (Volumes 2 and 3). In 1962 an abbreviated issue (containing only the first 56 chapters) appeared in paperback. In 2011 a digest of the book's main definitions and theorems, originally transcribed by Russell for Rudolf Carnap, was reprinted in The Evolution of Principia Mathematica, edited by Bernard Linsky.Written as a defense of logicism (the thesis that mathematics is in some significant sense reducible to logic), the book was instrumental in developing and popularizing modern mathematical logic. It also served as a major impetus for research in the foundations of mathematics throughout the twentieth century. Along with Aristotle's Organon and Gottlob Frege's Grundgesetze der Arithmetik, it remains one of the most influential books on logic ever written."" (SEP). ‎

Bulletin trimestriel de la Société Ramond. Année 1866 et Année 1867 [ 1ère et 2e Années - Edition originale ]‎

‎Edition originale de toute rareté. Ce volume recueille les 8 premiers bulletins trimestriels de la Société Ramond, correspondant à ses 2 premières années. Fondée autour du pasteur Emilien Frossard, de ses deux fils, de Charles Packe et d'Henry Russell, la Société Ramond publie son premier bulletin en 1866. Henri Béraldi salue ainsi cet événement : "L'apparition d'un périodique dans le pyrénéisme, bouleversement total ! [ ... ] Mais, en 1866, tout nouveau, tout bon, ainsi qu'il est d'usage dans les revues naissantes. Mis à part et réunis, tous les articles de description pittoresque du "Bulletin de la Société Ramond" pendant plus de trente ans ne forment que quelques volumes, éléments essentiel de l'histoire pyrénéiste [ ... ] Le premier numéro donc, est du premier trimestre 1866. Packe a l'honneur de "tirer le premier", en anglais, avec ses "Camps on the Maladetta" (également en anglais son article sur le Montarto). Immédiatement derrière lui, Russell, avec "Le Pic Cotieilla". Après quoi, Frédéric Soutras, saisissant sa lyre "par permission exceptionnelle dans une revue qui n'est pas spécialement littéraire", chante l'ode à Henri Russell, en trois parties, sur des rythmes différents [ ... ] "La société Ramond s'annonce comme un succès... Dès le début elle se propose une oeuvre bien autrement ardue que la publication d'un bulletin. Réaliser le voeu de celui dont elle porte le nom, construire dans les hautes régions cet "asyle", cette demeure solide, chaude, bien approvisionnée, où Ramond jadis avait rêvé d'être le témoin émerveillé "événements physiques inconnus, inobservés, inouïs"" (Henri Béraldi, Cent ans aux Pyrénées, III, pp. 71-75). Bon exemplaire (très petits frott. en dos, cachet à froid et cachet d'ex-libris en garde et titre, très bon état par ailleurs).‎
