Born: 15 February 1861, Ramsgate [Died] December 30, 1947. Cambridge, Massachusetts. British philosopher and mathematician. Lecturer at Cambridge University in 1885, professor at London University in 1914 and at Harvard University in 1924. Influenced by Leibniz, H. Grassmann, and G. Boole, he attempted to consider mathematics in terms of symbolic logic, and contributed to the establishment of logicism with his Principia Mathematica (3 volumes, 1910-13), co-authored with B. Russell. He then moved to natural philosophy and attempted a philosophical consideration of physics, and after moving to the United States in 1924, he entered the world of philosophy and metaphysics, attempting a cosmological consideration of the world. He also contributed to the field of educational philosophy. His major works include An Enquiry concerning the Principles of Natural Knowledge (19), The Concept of Nature (20), Science and the Modern World (25), Symbolism (28), Process and Reality (29), The Function of Reason (29), Adventures of Ideas (33), and Nature and Life (34).
