Abstract

Bertrand Russell wrote prolifically for a long period of time. He lived for almost ninety-eight years and wrote more than seventy books, hundreds of articles and thousands of letters. This material included his personal and intellectual biographies.

This essay was written in 1984. Different previous versions of the paper, treating various issues relating to the composition of The Principles of Mathematics, were presented at the XIX National Congress of the Mexican Society of Mathematics (1983), the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society (Phoenix, Arizona, 1989) and the XVIII International Congress on History of Science (Hamburg and Munich, 1989). An extended, updated and detailed discussion of all issues contained in this essay is presented in: Alejandro R. Garciadiego, Bertrand Russell and the Origin of the Set Theoretic Paradoxes. (Birkhäuser).
