The general view of Russell's work amongst philosophers has been
that repeat edly, during his long and distinguished career, crucial
changes of mind on fun damental points were significant enough to
cause him to successively adopt a diversity of radically new
philosophical positions. Thus Russell is seen to have embraced and
then abandoned, amongst others, neo-Hegelianism, Platonic re alism,
phenomenalism and logical atomism, before settling finally on a
form of neutral monism that philosophers have generally found to be
incredible. This view of Russell is captured in C. D. Broad's
famous remark that "Mr. Russell pro duces a different system of
philosophy every few years . . . " (Muirhead, 1924: 79). Reflecting
this picture of Russell continually changing his position, books
and papers on Russell's philosophy have typically belonged to one
of two kinds. Either they have concentrated on particular periods
of his thought that are taken to be especially significant, or,
accepting the view of his successive conversion to dis tinctly
different philosophical positions, they have provided some account
of each of these supposedly disconnected periods of his thought.
While much good work has been done on Russell's philosophy, this
framework has had its limitations, the main one being that it
conceals the basic continuity behind his thought."
