Russell´s Early Type Theory and the Paradox of Propositions
Vol 5, No 1-2 (2001) • Principia: an international journal of epistemology
Autor: André Fuhrmann
Abstract:
The paradox of propositiOns, presented in Appenclix B of Russell's The Principies of Mathernatics (1903), is usually taken as Russell's principal motive, at the time, for moving from a simple to a ramified theory of types. I argue that this view is mistaken. A closer study of Russell's correspondence with Frege reveals that Russell carne to adopt a very different resolution of the paradox, calling into question not the simplicity of his early type theory but the simplicity of his early theory of propositions.
