Description
This volume of Bertrand Russell's Collected Papers finds Russell focused on writing Principia Mathematica during 1905–08.
Eight previously unpublished papers shed light on his different versions of a substitutional theory of logic, with its elimination of classes and relations, during 1905-06.
A recurring issue for him was whether a type hierarchy had to be part of a substitutional theory.
In mid-1907 he began writing up the final version of Principia, now using a ramified theory of types, and eleven unpublished drafts from 1907-08 deal with this.
Numerous letters show his thoughts on the process. The volume's 80-page introduction covers the evolution of his logic from 1896 until 1909, when volume I of Principia went to the printer.
