Bertrand Russell was a central figure in the rise of analytic
philosophy, and there are few works in the genre whose influence is
comparable to The Principles of Mathematics (1903), a book that
established him as a major force in British philosophy. Logic as
Universal Science takes a fresh look at the context of The
Principles. This, it is argued, involves an extended argument
against Kant's transcendental idealism and his conception of
mathematics as a synthetic a priori science grounded in pure
intuition. Philosophically, Russell's logicism substitutes pure
logic for pure intuitions as the true source of mathematical
knowledge. In this way, logic turns out to be a universal science
and very far from Kant's general logic, which is a concise and dry
science, delivering nothing but a purely formal criterion for
knowledge. The picture of logic emerging from this opposition is
investigated in detail for its content and consequences.
