Abstract
This Paper was published in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society , 13 (1912-13): 126. It was Russell’s second Presidential Address to the Society, delivered on 4 November 1912. Before the Proceedings was published the article appeared in both English and French in Scientia , Bologna, 13 (May 1913): 317-38; the translation, which was made by Georges Bourgin, was printed in the supplement: 139-63. Russell read the translation and revised it. He included this paper in Mysticism and Logic (1918). The manuscript also survives.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
