Just a reminder that the Serious Metaphysics Group will meet tomorrow 
(Thursday) from 1:00-2:30 in the Faculty Board Room. Dan Brigham will be 
speaking on 'Russell’s Multiple-Relation Theory of Judgement and its 
Critics'. An abstract is included below.

Hope to see you there,

Georgie


Abstract

I defend Russell’s multiple-relation theory of judgement from its 
critics. Commentators have objected that it cannot distinguish between 
the judgement that aRb and the judgement that bRa, that it cannot 
account for the fact that there were truths before there were judging 
subjects, that it cannot account for molecular judgements, that it 
cannot accommodate the fact that when we make judgements about objects 
we do so “under a description”, and that it doesn’t preclude the 
possibility of judging nonsense. I rehearse the advantages of the 
theory, and I respond to a number of these objections.
