research program of Russell’s
Principia
era. Chapter 1, 'Introduction and Overview', explains the program’s agenda. Inspired by the non-Fregean logicism of
Principia Mathematica
, it endorses the revolution within mathematics presenting it as a study of relations. The synthetic a
priori
logic of
Principia
is 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
The Problems of Philosophy
, 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
logical forms
to address problems of
direction and compositionality
. With its acquaintance epistemology in limbo,
ScientificMethod in Philosophy
became the sequel to
Problems
. Chapter 2 explains Russell’s feeling intellectually dishonest. Wittgenstein’s demand that
logic
exclude nonsense belief played no role. The 1919
neutral monist
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
Principia
. Studies of modality and entailment are viable while
Principia
remains a
universal logic
above the civil wars of the metaphysicians.
