Notes, topics or text
De Lyra queries BR on philosophy. De Lyra began reading many books by BR with Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy.
He asks whether BR's opinion on logicism today differs from the 1938 introduction to Principles of Mathematics. "I understand, moreover, that the Gödel theorem (1931) on undecidable propositions of certain formal systems applies to the formalism of Principia. What does it signify for the logicalist stand as a whole?"
There is no indication that BR replied.
Record no.
