'Russell has endeavoured to give in non-technical language,
an account of his criticism as it affects arithmetic and logic.
He has been remarkably successful.'

book is written in a way which is as simple and untechnical
as it is, perhaps, possible to be without sacrificing accuracy.
Besides ably serving the purpose for which it was written,
the book should be very useful to anyone who has a

Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy sets out in a lucid and
non-technical way the main ideas of Principia Mathematica. It
is as inspiring and useful to the beginner now as it was when it
was first published in 1919.
This paperback edition of Introduction to Mathematical
Philosophy includes a new introduction by John G. Slater,
