    The Joy of Logic

    Watched this the other night and now being repeated on BBC 4.
    Good programme and very interesting.
    A few on this forum could learn a few things.

    Anyone read Principia Mathematica ?

    I've read bits of it - my degree is in Philosophy, and we had a course in Formal Logic in the first year, and one in Philosophical Logic in the second.

    This, however, is my favourite story about Principia Mathematica: Bertrand Russell - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

      Yeah, bits of it, I even bought the paperback edition.

      My university library had the full 3-volume edition. Vol 1 had about 15 stamps in it. Vol 2 had 3. Vol 3 had none.
