Rereading Léon Brunschvicg: Critical idealism and Russell’s method of analysis
Abstract
The aim of this article is to re-read Brunschvicg’s critical discussion of Russell’s philosophy. We attempt to highlight the philosophical reasons behind Brunschvicg’s distrust of logic, showing that in the final analysis his criticisms of Russell’s logicism relate to the difficulties Russell faces in thinking about the application of mathematics to the sciences of nature.
