In 1911, Bertrand Russell began a historically formative
interchange about the nature of logic and cognition with his
student, Ludwig Wittgenstein. In 1913, Russell set to work on a
manuscript, the "Theory of Knowledge", designed to move from the
analysis of perception to judgement and on to knowledge of the
world. After Wittgenstein interrupted Russell's daily writing with
a series of objections to his doctrine of judgement and conception
of logic, Russell abandoned his project in despair, leaving it
unfinished. His subsequent work can be understood largely as an
attempt to assimilate and respond to Wittgenstein's challenge in
1913. "Russell and Wittgenstein on the Nature of Judgement" is the
first book-length treatment of Russell's decisive 1913 exchanges
with Wittgenstein. Rosalind Carey incorporates little-known notes
and diagrams into a new analysis of the problems Russell was
facing. She also evaluates the numerous interpretations of
Russell's positions and Wittgenstein's objections to them. The
result is a new perspective on both these great thinkers, at a
crucial point in the development of twentieth-century philosophy.
