The thesis which Russell introduced in 1910 that propositions (as declarative sentences) are incomplete symbols attracted, on the contrary, much less attention and remains shrouded in obscurity. There are at least two reasons for that, both of them coming from the fact that Russell's thesis about propositions was intimately tied to his controversialmultiple-relation theory of judgment. First, Russell did not offer a sufficiently detailed exposition of this incompleteness aspect of the multiple-relation theory. We have only his rather fragmentary remarks in the first vol. of Principia Mathematica and some other texts written between the years 1910-14, including the manuscript Theory of Knowledge.
