I 106

Solution: Difference intensional/extensional functions.
>Intension, >Extension.

Flor III 125
Things/objects/Russell: two theories:
A. defined as logical constructions - e.g. series of classes of sensory data.
B. known only from descriptions.
Flor III 126
Object/Person/Russell: People are also physical objects! Problem: therefore they need to be understood by Russell as hidden descriptions or class names - a subject name must be an incomplete symbol - by no means a name.
>Person, >Name, >Description, >Incomplete symbol.
