Whitehead-Russell

The Whitehead-Russell theory, also known as Principia Mathematica, is an ambitious attempt to base all of mathematics on logical foundations. Developed by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, it seeks to show that even complex mathematical concepts can be derived from simple, precise logical principles. The idea is to create a solid, rigorous framework where every mathematical statement can be proven starting from basic logical axioms, aiming to demonstrate the consistency and completeness of mathematics through formal symbolic logic.
