Bertrand Russell e la filosofia dell'atomismo logico

1903 was a particularly significant year for the history of Europeanculture, both in term of the history of scientific thought and the history of philosophicalthought. At Trinity College in Cambridge, George Edward Moore published the articleThe Refutation of Idealism in «Mind» magazine, while Bertrand Russell published The Principles of Mathematics. With these two works, besides discarding the mainstream neo-idealism in Great Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century, Moore and Russellpromoted the new current of neo-positivism, from which logical empiricism and the socalled “scientific philosophy” was to be derived and cultivated within the Vienna Circleand the Berlin Circle.
