¶ First publication of Quine's essay on Frege's way out of Russell's Paradox. Urged by Scholz, Quine here sets out to comment on Geach and Black's suppositions about how Quine adopts Frege's solution, as they put it in the preface of the translation of Frege's philosophical writings (Blackwell, 1952), e.g.: ("But the relation of Quine's solution to Frege's is obscured because Quine does not explicitly make Frege's distinction between a concept or property and its extension.)" (p. 243).
Quine is one of the most important American and analytical philosophers of the 20th century. His contributions to analytic philosophy and philosophical logic have been immense.
The volume also comprises contributions by Gallie, Welsh, Mackie, Smart, Atkinson, Aldrich, Moore etc.
