This book repairs and revives the Theory of Knowledge 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, Scientific Method 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.
