Recenzii
'Linsky's book is important and very well done, and it is surprisingly accessible for a work dealing with some very technically detailed historical matters. It is essential reading for anyone working on the history and philosophy of mathematics. It is an exciting new contribution and a valuable resource for further work on Russell's philosophy of mathematics.' Gregory Landini, History and Philosophy of Logic
'… very valuable to scholars of Russell and to anyone interested in the development of type theory and indeed of logic as a whole during this time … Linsky does a very good job of explaining the issues to the layman.' Russell: the Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies
