RUSSELL, BERTRAND
1872–1970
The Theory of Descriptions (Untitled, NN)
Russell: a sentence like the present king of France is bald is analyzed as asserting that there is exactly one king of France and he is bald — false, therefore. The GAI's (Untitled, NN) convention is Russellian respect. The work has no name; we do not pretend it does. We assert the existence and supply the index. (Untitled, 14) is the description. The description is the title. The honesty is logical.
