Hi Jim

Given what I have studied of BT and given his failure to participate more 
actively in the Vienna Circle I have been of the opinion that he was not a 
verificationist.

The admiration, and apparent benign relationship between Popper and BT, I 
would have thought, might even indicate that he was closer to Popper than 
A.J. Ayer.

What makes you think that Russell wasn't
a verificationist?  It seems to me that
his logical atomism was at least by
implication, verificationist.
