討論:B. ラッセルをめぐる諸疑問, とくに様相の形而上学について

Abstract

It seems necessary to reply to the review of my book Paradoxes of Bertrand Russell, by Natsuki Takamura on this journal No. 106. Takamura was involved in verbal trivialities and repeated a stereotyped view to the effect that Russell did not admit the significance of modality in metaphysics. On the contrary, Russell's idea of modality as properties of propositional functions, not of propositions, must be estimated to have anticipated the possible world semantics. My book suggested it, and many texts by Russell himself and other scholars support the interpretation.
