Abstract

Peter Geach has said that Russell's use of 'propositional function' is 'hopelessly confused and inconsistent'. Geach is right, and attempts to say what exactly a Russellian propositional function is, or is supposed to be, are bound to end in frustration. Nevertheless, it may be worthwhile to pursue an account of propositional functions that accommodates a good deal of what Russell says about them and that can provide some of what he expected of them.
