I X
Truth/term/being/class/paradoxes/Russell/Gödel: these terms are self-contradictory.
Error: to assume that there is a class of objects for each propositional function, which satisfies it - or that a propositional function existed as a separate entity.
Solution/Russell: late: "No-Class-Theory": only facon de parler - classes do not exist.
>GeachVsRussell.
I 38
Paradox/senseless/bivalence/Principia Mathematica(1)/Russell: a class cannot be the subject of its self-determining function.
False solution: the corresponding proposition cannot simply be wrong, it must be meaningless. - ((s) Otherwise we simply get the complements of the problematic sets.)
>Bivalence, >Truth value, >Truth value gap, >Senseless, >Sense.
