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