Russell and the universalist conception of logic
Noûs 41 (1):1–32 (2007)
| Abstract | The paper examines the widespread idea that Russell subscribes to a "Universalist Conception of Logic". Various glosses on this somewhat under-explained slogan are considered, and their fit with Russell's texts and logical practice examined. The results are, by an large, unfavorable to the Universalist interpretation. | |||||||||
