Abstract (EN)
In our study, we have examined the works and contributions of Bertrand Russell in the field of logic. One of our reasons for choosing this study, is to show that the science of logic, which is usually examined by the social sciences is also a part of the field of mathematics and that by isolating the logic from the mathematics and studying only one aspect of it, is not enough to comprehend it fully. The mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell, considered these two branches of science as identical and tried to show that the axioms of mathematics can be deducted from the laws of logic. In our study, first we have examined the history of logic. Then we have examined accordingly with Russell's works, the development of the relation between logic and mathematics over time, the crises of mathematics and Bertrand Russell's attempts to solve these crises with logic-based solutions. We have prioritised Bertrand Russell's own works in our study. Then we have inspected the works of other writers who looked at the subject from different points of views. Since our study is in the field of social sciences, we have used oral statements rather than mathematical statements. Keywords: Bertrand Russell, Logicism, Logical Atomism, Crises in Mathematics
