• 摘要註: This book demonstrates the influence of an Edwardian 'controversy' on Russell's philosophy ofthe external world. It brings to our attention a debate that raged amongst Edwardian philosophers onissues of central significance to analytic philosophy before Bertrand Russell entered the discussion. In explaining this Edwardian 'controversy', Nasim Omar combines meticulous scholarly detail withaccessibility to argue that the formation of the original strands of 'realism' in British philosophy,usually credited to Russell and Moore, can in fact be linked with a group of Edwardian philosophersthat included G.F.Stout and Sir T.P. Nunn. The author re-examines the history of well known notionslike b1ssense-datab2s and b1ssensibiliab2s, and makes a case for understanding Russell's appealfor the application of b1slogical constructionsb2s, at first only used as a device in mathematical logic, to the problem of the external world. This switch in the application of logical construction is seen as the rise of a new philosophical method. This book will not only shed light on therelevant doctrines of some of the Edwardian philosophers, but will also demonstrate the considerable role they played in the history of early analytic philosophy.
