<div>This book repairs and revives the <i>Theory of Knowledge</i> research program of&nbsp;Russell’s <i>Principia</i> era. Chapter 1, 'Introduction and Overview', explains the&nbsp;program’s agenda. Inspired by the non-Fregean logicism of <i>Principia Mathematica</i>,&nbsp;it endorses the revolution within mathematics presenting it as a study of relations.&nbsp;The synthetic a <i>priori</i> logic of <i>Principia </i>is the essence of philosophy considered as&nbsp;a science which exposes the dogmatisms about abstract particulars and&nbsp;metaphysical necessities that create prisons that fetter the mind. Incipient in <i>The&nbsp;</i><i>Problems of Philosophy</i>, the program’s acquaintance epistemology embraced a&nbsp;multiple-relation theory of belief. It reached an impasse in 1913, having been itself retrofitted with abstract particular <i>logical forms</i> to address problems of&nbsp;<i>direction and compositionality</i>. With its acquaintance epistemology in limbo,&nbsp;<i>ScientificMethod in Philosophy</i> became the sequel to <i>Problems</i>. Chapter 2 explains&nbsp;Russell’s feeling intellectually dishonest. Wittgenstein’s demand that <i>logic</i>&nbsp;exclude nonsense belief played no role. The 1919 <i>neutral monist</i> era ensued, but&nbsp;Russell found no epistemology for the logic essential to philosophy. Repairing,&nbsp;Chapters 4–6 solve the impasse. Reviving, Chapters 3 and 7 vigorously defend&nbsp;the facts about <i>Principia</i>. Studies of modality and entailment are viable while&nbsp;<i>Principia</i> remains a <i>universal logic</i> above the civil wars of the metaphysicians.</div>
