Abstract
Propositions are complex objects made up of their constituents. Among the constituents of propositions are individuals, properties, propositional operators, and quantifier meanings. This chapter defends Plenitudinous Russellianism, and shows how Plenitudinous Russellianism can be theoretically fruitful. By adopting Plenitudinous Russellianism, the chapter solves both Frege's Puzzle of identity and, more importantly, Frege's Puzzle of Cognitive Value. The chapter develops Plenitudinous Russellianism in more detail by formulating various key metaphysical and semantic theses in response to Salmón's challenge. Salmon identifies an implicit assumption in the structure of Frege's Puzzle of Cognitive Value. Salmon's principle of compositionality, in conjunction with the claim that propositions are complex abstract entities, entails the Limiting Thesis.
