Facts and Propositions

Abstract

This chapter discusses two classes of facts. The first of these two classes is the class of judgments. The second class of facts consists of all non-general facts which correspond to facts of first class, together with all those facts which are equivalent to any such non-general fact. Mr. Ramsey try to analyse are neither judgments nor facts of first class, but a second class of facts will hereafter call as second class, related in a peculiar way to both. There are two preliminary propositions in which Caesar means to assert to be hardly open to question. The first is some proposition which might be expressed by the words. 'Every such fact contains at least one "mental" and at least one "objective" factor'; and the second, some proposition which might be expressed by the words. 'Every such fact consists in the holding of some relation or relations between the mental and objective factors which it contains'.
