Abstract:In July 1915, after hearing Jane Addams speak in London on her efforts for peace during wartime, Bertrand Russell wrote to an American friend, “You can gather what I think and feel by talking to Miss Addams. She seemed to me to have exactly the same outlook as I have.” In this paper I compare how Russell and Addams used the era’s scientific theories in formulating their pacifism. After recounting Addams’s and Russell’s experiences during the war, I show how Addams and Russell accounted for civilization’s “descent into barbarism” in parallel ways. I then contrast their conceptions of what counts as progress in civilization, and show how these differences shaped their critiques of war. In the final section I compare how their responses correlated with the forms their activism took during the war.

Abstract:In this paper I discuss Gregory Landini’s important and much cited interpretation of Russell’s multiple-relation theory of judgment, focusing on the claim that the version of the theory presented in Theory of Knowledge solves what Nicholas Griffin calls the narrow direction problem. I begin with a fresh account of Russell’s conception of the direction problem. This problem concerns not only (a) the individuation of permutative beliefs about the same objects, but also (b) the individuation of truth-making complexes of such beliefs, and (c) which complexes make which beliefs true. The principal issue with Landini’s interpretation is that it doesn’t successfully address (c), leaving the truth-conditions of atomic permutative beliefs indeterminate. This issue persists in Landini’s most recent clarification of his interpretation, which highlights ascribing to Russell a reliance on a primitive notion of intentionality. If a conception of primitive intentionality is present in Russell’s writings, it does not overcome the “real difficulty” of objective falsehoods Russell discerned in his own attempt to solve the direction problem.
