On the Nature of Truth [1907]

This paper, which appeared in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, n.s. 7 (1907): 28–49 (B&R C07.08), is primarily an attack on the neo-Hegelian theory of truth found in Joachim’s book, The Nature of Truth (1906). Here, in effect, Russell continued the two reviews that he had already published in June and October 1906 (Papers 13a and 13b). And he continued, as well, the struggle against Kantian and Hegelian idealism which he and Moore had begun late in 1898. Later, he reprinted the first two sections of 14 as the chapter “The Monistic Theory of Truth” in his book Philosophical Essays (1910, 150–69).
