Bertrand Russell And The Nature Of Propositions: A History And Defence Of The Multiple Relation Theory Of Judgement Hardcover

India

Samuel Lebens

Bertrand Russell and the Nature of Propositions offers the first book-length defence of the Multiple Relation Theory of Judgement (MRTJ). Although the theory was much maligned by Wittgenstein and ultimately rejected by Russell himself, Lebens shows that it provides a rich and insightful way to understand the nature of propositional content.

Samuel Lebens is a Senior Research Fellow in the Philosophy Department at the University of Haifa, Israel.

Samuel Lebens' book is a lively and full-throated defense of the multiple relation theory . . . His book is the best attempt I have seen at a comprehensive historical study of the multiple relation theory . . . The historical parts of the book are well argued and illuminating, but these issues are not Lebens' main concern. His primary aim is to revitalize the multiple relation theory and make it a contender in contemporary debates about the nature of propositions. - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
