The work of Bertrand Russell had a decisive influence on the emergence of analytic philosophy and on its subsequent development The essays collected in this volume by one of the leading authorities on Russells philosophy all aim at recapturing and articulating aspects of Russells philosophical vision during his most influential and important period the two decades following his break with Idealism in 1899One theme of the collection concerns Russells views about propositions and their analysis and the relation of those ideas to his rejection of Idealism Another theme is the development of Russells logicism culminating in Whiteheads and Russells Principia Mathematica and Hylton offers a revealing view of the conception of logic which underlies it Here again there is an emphasis on Russells argument against Idealism on the idea that his logicism was a crucial part of that argument A further focus of the volume is Russells views about functions and propositional functions This theme is part of a contrast that Hylton draws between Russells general philosophical position and that of Frege in particular there is a close parallel with the quite different views that the two philosophers held about the nature of philosophical analysis Hylton also sheds valuable light on the muchdisputed idea of an operation which Wittgenstein advances in the Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus
