Overview

"This book aims to reconstruct and reinterpret the role played by the philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) concerning the origins of the set-theoretic paradoxes. As well as offering an account of Russell's philosophical and mathematical background before 1900, the work presents an analysis of how Russell wrote ""The Principles of Mathematics"" from 1898-1903. A historical analysis of how other historians have interpreted the same events (""standard"" interpretations as the author calls them) is a further feature of the book, as is the examination of how paradoxes emerged as a consequence of Russell's influence."
