Abstract.<\/strong> In this paper I reject Wittgenstein’s criticism of Russell\u2019s theory of
\nknowledge. First, I present the historical context in which Russell formulated his
\ntheory and Wittgenstein his criticism. Then, I attempt to show that Russell\u2019s views
\nhad the potential to develop into an important conceptual scheme relating
\nknowledge to mental phenomena. I argue that Wittgenstein\u2019s criticism was a
\ndecisive factor in Russell\u2019s decision not to pursue his line of enquiry. But this
\ncriticism was misdirected, as shown by the fact that Wittgenstein\u2019s later work in
\nthe Tractatus approached a range of problems different from those targeted by
\nRussell\u2019s theory.<\/p>\n

Keywords<\/strong>: history of analytic philosophy, theory of knowledge, knowledge
\nby acquaintance.<\/p>\n
