Gregory Landini presents and explores Bertrand Russell's substitutional theory of classes - a theory largely elaborated in unpublished manuscripts from the period before Principia Mathematica. He shows how paradoxes about propositions gradually undermined this theory and forced Russell to recast his ideas. Landini argues, however, that even in the Principia Russell is still attempting to salvage the guiding idea of the theory, showing that Russell's work exhibits far more consistency than previously thought.

V.Peckhaus, MATH, Vol.933 The author provides deep insights into a very dynamic period of Russell's tackling with logical systems by stressing the unifying role of the substitutional theory.

Michael Byrd, Brit. Jnl. Phil Sci. 51, No.2 (2000). Landini's book ... supplies a valuable and convincing picture of how Russell hoped the theory of incomplete symbols might show the way to a philosophically defensible solution to the paradoxes.

Michael Byrd, Brit. Jnl. Phil. Sci. 51, No.2 (2000). the detailed elaboration of the substitutional theory in the book's second part is quite impressive.

Michael Byrd, Brit. Jnl. Phil. Sci. 51, No.2 (2000). Landini's work is a significant contribution to Russell scholarship. It reveals with clarity the fecundity and coherence of Russell's early work in logic.
