The context principle also figures prominently in the work of other Analytic Philosophers who saw themselves as continuing Frege's work, such as Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein . FORMULATIONS OF THE CONTEXT PRINCIPLE Gottlob Frege, Introduction to ''The Foundations of Arithmetic'' (1884/1980) : In the enquiry that follows, I have kept to three fundamental principles: :: always to separate sharply the psychological from the logical, the subjective from the objective; :: never to ask for the meaning of a word in isolation, but only in the context of a proposition :: never to lose sight of the distinction between concept and object. Ludwig Wittgenstein, ''Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus'' (1921/1922) : 3.3 Only the proposition has sense; only in the context of a proposition has a name meaning. ... : 3.314 An expression has meaning only in a proposition. Every variable can be conceived as a propositional variable. : (Including the variable name.) REFERENCES
