From Logical Atoms to Language Networks: An Examination of Part of Russell's Philosophy of Logical Atomism

Abstract

dc:description

In this dissertation I present a critical interpretation of part of Bertrand Russell's 1918 philosophy of logical atomism, and a critical assessment of his contentions that language mirrors the world and that some English sentences share some of the logical properties of sentences of Principia Mathematica.
