Russell and His Sources for Non-Classical Logics Irving H. Anellis

Abstract.

My purpose here is purely historical. It is not an attempt to

resolve the question as to whether Russell did or did not countenance

nonclassical logics, and if so, which nonclassical logics, and still less to

demonstrate whether he himself contributed, in any manner, to the development of nonclassical logic. Rather, I want merely to explore and insofar as possible document, whether, and to what extent, if any, Russell interacted with the various, either the various candidates or their, ideas that

Dejnoˇzka and others have proposed as potentially influential in Russell’s

intellectual reactions to nonclassical logic or to the philosophical concepts

that might contribute to his reactions to nonclassical logics.
