Bertrand Russell on Objects (Material Things) - Dictionary of Arguments
Geach I 314 Definition Object/Definition Person/Russell: (logical atomism): an object is a set of classes of particulars, and therefore a logical fiction. "Real things (= sense data) only last a very short time". GeachVsRussell: he tried to apply two theories of classes at once: 1. the "no-classes theory" that classes are only fictions 2. the "composition theory": that classes are composed of their elements. - - - Flor III 125 Things/objects/Russell: two theories: A. defined as logical constructions - e.g. series of classes of sensory data. B. known only from descriptions. Flor III 126 Object/Person/Russell: People are also physical objects! Problem: therefore they need to be understood by Russell as hidden descriptions or class names - a subject name must be an incomplete symbol - by no means a name. >Person, >Name, >Description, >Incomplete symbol._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
