Two years later he attended a special College course in mathematical logic oTered by Bertrand Russell, the Wrst of its kind ever taught in a British university. This contact with Russell was of major consequence for his intellectual career, for he focused upon set theory and its history, and also on the histories of mathematical analysis and of logic, and aspects of the history and philosophy of mechanics and of science.1 He corresponded at length with Russell until his death in 1919; the exchange forms the core of my book on their relationship.2 From his youth Jourdain suTered from a creeping paralysis called “Friedreich ’s ataxia”. It prevented him from taking the Part 2 Tripos; thus he did not graduate as a Wrangler and so could not compete for a fellowship at Trinity. So he made his living from a few scholarships and from freelance writing as an June 25, 2012 (9:21 pm) E:CPBRRUSSJOURTYPE3201russell 32,1 060 red.wpd 70 i. grattan-guinness 3 E.

In particular, the American house The Open Court Publishing Company employed him, especially from 1912 on their principal journal The Monist, commissioning papers (and also some books) from colleagues, in particular Russell. He seems to have served as its general editor soon after the death in February 1919 of its founder editor, Paul Carus, but he died himself early in October. Those last months form the time-frame of this paper. 2.wobsession Jourdain’s principal research interest in the foundations of mathematics came to focus upon the denumerable “axiom of choice” in set theory and mathematics , as Ernst Zermelo named it a few years after introducing it in 1904.3 Take an inWnite ensemble of non-empty and pairwise disjoint sets and choose a member from each set in independent actions; then the axiom asserts that the collection of chosen members can always be regarded as a genuine set. But this manner of forming a set roused considerable doubts and opposition among many (though not all) set-theorists and logicians. Some of them rejected the axiom altogether; others tried to reprove theorems that used the axiom by proofs that avoided it; several sought hopefully more congenial assumptions that were logically equivalent to the axiom, and eventually many came to light.4 Logicists such..." @default.
