A review by bwhitetn
Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy by Bertrand Russell

I have always enjoyed Russell's writing style. Since I formally educated myself in computer science, that may be why it resonates with me. This book was written shortly after the Principia Mathematica, which along with AN Whitehead, attempted to derive all of mathematics from logic. This ultimately failed due to Kurt Godel's incompleteness theorem. It proved any formal system has truths which are not accessible, yet true using the system's rules. Anyway, I can dig it!
