  text: 'From 1901 to 1919, Russell persistently maintained that there were two kinds
    of logic and distinguished between one and the other as mathematical logic and
    philosophical logic. In this paper, we discuss the concept of philosophical logic,
    as used by Russell. This was only a tentative program that Russell did not clarify
    in detail; therefore, our task will be to make it explicit. We shall show that
    there are three (-and-a-half) kinds of Russellian philosophical logic: (i) “pure
    logic”; (ii) philosophical logic investigating the logical forms of propositions;
    (iii) philosophical logic exploring the logical forms of facts: in epistemology
    and in the external world. In particular, Russell’s program or philosophical logic
    of the facts of the external world remained less than sketchily outlined.  '
