Landon Elkind, Treasurer

Landon D. C. Elkind is Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science at Western Kentucky University. His current research focuses on the Principia Rewrite project; part of this research includes the difficult editorial task of digitizing, re-typesetting, and creating a critical edition of Principia Mathematica, a three-volume, 1,992-page work that includes more writing in logical symbolism than in English. This new edition is under contract with Cambridge University Press, and the first re-done volume is expected to appear in 2025. The reason he is interested in becoming more involved in and contributing to the ADE is because he has already learned a good deal about documentary editing from the ADE’s major guides to documentary editing and he wants to keep updated on best editorial practices and new techniques. He is currently treasurer of the Bertrand Russell Society and was previously treasurer of the Society for the Study of the History of Analytical Philosophy.
