Bertrand Russell on Object - Dictionary of Arguments
I 106 Object/combinations/Principia Mathematica(1)/PM/Russell: combinations are not an object, also not a whole as "12 apostles" as a property that belongs to every apostle. Solution: Difference intensional/extensional functions. >Intension, >Extension. 1. Whitehead, A.N. and Russel, B. (1910). Principia Mathematica. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. - - - 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.
