Abstract
Although not yet 27 years of age at the time of his death, Ramsey left contributions to mathematics, logic, and economics which were of the greatest value for contemporary philosophy. The present volume contains published and unpublished papers, ranging in date from 1923 to 1929, which show the development of his philosophic thought. â Published Papers : â I. «The Foundations of Mathematics», [i]Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society[/i], Ser. 2, Vol. 25, Part 5, pp. 338-384.
