{"product_id":"9783030663582","title":"Repairing Bertrand Russell's 1913 Theory of Knowledge (History of Analytic Philosophy)","description":"This book repairs and revives the \u003ci\u003eTheory of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e research program of Russell's \u003ci\u003ePrincipia\u003c\/i\u003e era. Chapter 1, 'Introduction and Overview', explains the program's agenda. Inspired by the non-Fregean logicism of \u003ci\u003ePrincipia Mathematica\u003c\/i\u003e, it endorses the revolution within mathematics presenting it as a study of relations. The synthetic a \u003ci\u003epriori\u003c\/i\u003e logic of \u003ci\u003ePrincipia \u003c\/i\u003eis the essence of philosophy considered as a science which exposes the dogmatisms about abstract particulars and metaphysical necessities that create prisons that fetter the mind. Incipient in \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eProblems of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e, the program's acquaintance epistemology embraced a multiple-relation theory of belief. It reached an impasse in 1913, having been itself retrofitted with abstract particular \u003ci\u003elogical forms\u003c\/i\u003e to address problems of \u003ci\u003edirection and compositionality\u003c\/i\u003e. With its acquaintance epistemology in limbo, \u003ci\u003eScientificMethod in Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e became the sequel to \u003ci\u003eProblems\u003c\/i\u003e. Chapter 2 explains Russell's feeling intellectually dishonest. Wittgenstein's demand that \u003ci\u003elogic\u003c\/i\u003e exclude nonsense belief played no role. The 1919 \u003ci\u003eneutral monist\u003c\/i\u003e era ensued, but Russell found no epistemology for the logic essential to philosophy. Repairing, Chapters 4-6 solve the impasse. Reviving, Chapters 3 and 7 vigorously defend the facts about \u003ci\u003ePrincipia\u003c\/i\u003e. Studies of modality and entailment are viable while \u003ci\u003ePrincipia\u003c\/i\u003e remains a \u003ci\u003euniversal logic\u003c\/i\u003e above the civil wars of the metaphysicians. \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction and Overview.- Chapter 2:  what is Logic?.- Chapter 3: Facts About Principia.- Chapter 4: Acquaintance.- Chapter 5: Direction.- Chapter 6: Compositionality.- Chapter 7: Scientific Philosophy's Necessity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGregory Landini is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Iowa, USA.
