Abstract

Rejects as spurious the contrast between a theory that takes 'Every philosopher is smart' and 'Socrates is smart' to express propositions with the same structure and a theory that does not. Bertrand Russell's 'On denoting' (1905) and "The Principles of Mathematics" (1903) (PoM); Implications of the PoM for the notion of predication; Focus of argument on s-p propositions.
