Frege’s Two Views Towards Psychology
This paper argues that Gottlob Frege has two distinct views toward psychology. The first view is underappreciated. It consists in his dual claim that psychological and logical elements in thought are naturally intertwined and, furthermore, that his conceptual notation can be “scientifically…

Einstein, Idealism, and Nonsense: Dorothy Wrinch on the Elimination of Metaphysics
I offer a contribution to studies into the role played by women in the history of analytic philosophy through an examination of the way in which Dorothy Wrinch rejected idealism in the early 1920s. I show that Wrinch viewed certain idealist interpretations of Einsteinian physics as literally not…

The Fixed Form of the World
One of the most puzzling features of objects in the Tractatus is that they exist necessarily. Wittgenstein expresses this commitment at 2.022 and 2.023, where he says that there is a form common to all possible worlds and that objects constitute this fixed form. In this paper I argue that the…

Putnam's Semantic Externalism Revisited
From “Is Semantics Possible?” (1970) to his seminal work “The Meaning of ‘Meaning’” (1975), Hilary Putnam developed his semantic externalism about the meaning and reference of natural kind terms. His metasemantic position, especially his idea of ‘indexicality’, is typically interpreted as a form of…

Ryle and Sellars on Thoughts and Immediate Experiences
This paper examines Sellars’ critique of Ryle in Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind to draw a broader lesson about the nature of mindedness as such. I begin by showing that Sellars’ Ryle, unlike the author of The Concept of Mind (CM), is a philosophical behaviorist. I then argue that Sellars’…

Does Davidson Argue for Compositionality?
Donald Davidson is generally supposed to have offered an argument for the principle of compositionality in “Theories of Meaning and Learnable Languages”. Peter Pagin, however, has argued that Davidson offers no such argument. Indeed, Pagin claims that Davidson explicitly rejects any demand that…

Vuillemin Reads Russell
In 1968, the French philosopher Jules Vuillemin published his Leçons sur la première philosophie de Russell. Based on his classes at Collège de France, the book features an in-depth study of Russell’s Principles of Mathematics. Vuillemin champions Russell’s philosophy as an alternative to the…

“Please let me know whether it seems to you absurd or ridiculous to bring in necessity and contingency”
In this paper, we will discuss Wrinch’s reflections on logic at the intersection among logic, epistemology and metaphysics. We will see, first, how Wrinch was a Russellian philosopher and scientist, as she explicitly believed in Russell’s logical-analytic method and in the “all-important” role…

Russell's Reception in India
Bertrand Russell is perhaps one of the most important philosophers whose recognition travels far beyond the community of professional philosophers. India did not escape his attention. Many Indians were eager to know his views about the events that colonial India lived through. With scores of…

Nicod and Russell on Wittgenstein’s Picture Theory
During the summer of 1919 at Lulworth, Russell, with Dorothy Wrinch and Jean Nicod, read and discussed the manuscript of the Tractatus Wittgenstein just sent to him. This collective work of deciphering was certainly the main source of the interpretation that Russell set out in his introduction to…

External Relations: Russell, New Realism, and the Harvard School of Logic
This paper reconstructs the development of the ‘Harvard school of logic’ (e.g., Josiah Royce, H. M. Sheffer, C. I. Lewis, A. N. Whitehead, Susanne Langer, and W. V. Quine), highlighting the impact of Bertrand Russell’s period at Harvard in the spring of 1914. I trace and contextualize Russell’s…

The article delineates the pivotal milestones in the evolution of Russell’s “scientific philosophy” within Chinese philosophical discourse during Republican-era China. Shedding new light on the interrelation between what is termed the “Russellian paradigm” in the Republican era and key developments…

The Early Reception of Russell’s Scientific Philosophy in Turkey
This paper presents the early reception of Bertrand Russell’s scientific philosophy in 1930s Turkey, which reflects a strong interest for philosophical currents related to the sciences, such as pragmatism and logical empiricism. It is exemplified by the first translations, one of them by the…

Quine on the Intersubjectivity of Observation Sentences
W. V. Quine developed two naturalistic clarifications of the idea that observation sentences are intersubjective—the clarification he first proposed in Word and Object (1960) and the one he first proposed in “Three Indeterminacies” (1990b) and Pursuit of Truth (1990a). My goals in this paper are to…

Triangulating with an Envatted Brain
During a conversation about skepticism at a closed 1986 Stanford Conference, Donald Davidson remarks that an envatted brain might correctly be interpreted as talking about the world outside its vat, to which it could have access via an “indirect causal chain.” In this paper, I examine this puzzling…

Dagfinn Føllesdal’s Photographic Plates and The Point of Naturalized Epistemology
This focusses on a certain theme of the 1986 closed conference at Stanford featuring Quine, Davidson, Føllesdal and Dreben, a transcript entitled the ‘Stanford Conversation’ having just been released: the contrast between traditional epistemology and Quine’s naturalized epistemology. A central…

The Stanford Conference
Burton Dreben, Quine’s colleague and closest collaborator down the decades, took it upon himself to make Quine’s thinking as strong as possible. Without broadcasting the fact, he was at pains to pinpoint Quine’s philosophical achievement and combat misunderstandings of what Quine was about. In this…

Quine's Platonism
Quine’s stance towards mathematical entities is usually divided into two phases. Until 1948 he sympathised with nominalism and the rejection of abstract objects, but then concluded that they are indispensable and accepted mathematical Platonism. It has rarely been noticed, however, that Quine’s…
