GOMEZ GUTIERREZ, Susana. RUSSELL AND HEGEL, A DISCUSSION ON DEICTICS. Univ. philos. [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.66, pp.113-127. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph33-66.rhdd.

In this paper I examine the conflicting ways in which Bertrand Russell and Hegel understand indexical expressions. For this purpose, I consider some books and articles written by Russell in different moments of his life, and the first chapter of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, book published in 1807. I try to show that Russell, even being a Hegel scholar, does not respond to his proposal about indexical expressions, but takes a position that keeps him trapped in a kind of self-deception of sense-certainty. At the end, I suggest that the differences between Hegel and Russell in relation to indexical expressions can be explained by the fact that the ontologies adopted by both authors exclude each other.

Palabras clave : indexical expressions; Hegel; Russell; substance philosophy; process philosophy.
