Abstract
In June 1913, Wittgenstein's objection to Russell's multiple relation theory of judgment led Russell to give up writing his book on Theory of knowledge. It is one of the most famous incidents in their interaction, and has sometimes been presented as a turning point in their relationship, when the roles of master and pupil were reversed. This chapter discusses Russell's original multiple relation theory, his revised theory, Wittgenstein's objection, and the fate of the multiple relation theory. It then considers the attempts by commentators to explain what Wittgenstein's objection amounted to, specifically that of Griffin's.
