A Quarterly Review of Philosophy

October 2005

This year Mind is celebrating the Centenary of Bertrand Russell's landmark essay 'On Denoting', the most famous paper in analytic philosophy of the first half twentieth century, in which Russell presented his Theory of Descriptions, a theory still very much debated and used in philosophy today.

To commemorate this seminal paper, Mind is releasing a special centenary issue devoted to the essay. The October 2005 Centenary Issue will be edited by a guest editor, Professor Stephen Neale, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA.

Contents

The special issue will include an editorial introduction by Professor Neale, and papers by a distinguished group of philosophers including:

• Ray Buchanan and Gary Ostertag, Has the Problem of Incompleteness Rested on a Mistake?
• Richard L. Cartwright, Remarks on Propositional Functions
• David Kaplan, Russell on Denoting
• Saul Kripke, Russell's Notion of Scope and the Hydra Problem
• Alex Oliver and Timothy Smiley, Plural Descriptions and Many-valued Functions
