Philosophy of Logical Atomism-Bertrand Russell
Philosophy of Logical Atomism by Bertrand Russell.
'The Philosophy of Logical Atomism' is a series of lectures by Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) that touches on numerous topics, including the nature of propositions, the relations of propositions to facts and of different types of words to the varieties of things, what kinds of facts there are, existence, monism and pluralism, and aspects of philosophical logic and of reference. Guiding the lectures, at least according to Russell's headnote to his lectures, is Russell's intent to fully flesh out ideas he learned from his former pupil, Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951).

Recording by Landon D.C. Elkind at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. The following articles are the first two lectures of a course of eight lectures delivered in London in the first months of 1918, and are very largely concerned with explaining certain ideas, which I learned from my friend and former people, Ludwig Wittgenstein. I've had no opportunity of knowing his views since August 1914, and I do not even know whether he is alive or dead. He has, therefore, no responsibility for what is said in these lectures. Beyond that, of having originally supplied, many of the theories contained in them. The six other lectures will appear in the three following numbers of the monist. B.R. Lecture one, facts and propositions. This course of lectures, which I am now beginning, I have called the Philosophy of Logical Atomism. Perhaps I had better begin by saying a word or two as to what I understand by that title. The kind of philosophy that I wish to advocate, which I call logical atomism, is one which has forced itself upon me in the course of thinking about the philosophy of mathematics. Although I should find it hard to say exactly how far there is a definite logical connection between the two.
