Chapter 1, 'Introduction and Overview'\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003elogic 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 direction and compositionality. With its acquaintance epistemology in limbo, \u003ci\u003eScientific Method 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45279526977687,"sku":"9783030663582","price":8814.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030663582.webp?v=1769293824","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/repairing-bertrand-russells-1913-theory-of-knowledge-9783030663582","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
