This volume of Bertrand Russell's Collected Papers finds Russell
focused on writing Principia Mathematica during 1905-08. Eight
previously unpublished papers shed light on his different versions
of a substitutional theory of logic, with its elimination of
classes and relations, during 1905-06. A recurring issue for him
was whether a type hierarchy had to be part of a substitutional
theory. In mid-1907 he began writing up the final version of
Principia, now using a ramified theory of types, and eleven
unpublished drafts from 1907-08 deal with this. Numerous letters
show his thoughts on the process. The volume's 80-page introduction
covers the evolution of his logic from 1896 until 1909, when volume
I of Principia went to the printer.
