	Frank Ramsey
		Frank Plumpton Ramsey was a big man, big in body, in intellect and in breadth of interests - but small in life-span.
		Ramsey, himself influenced by Russell and Wittgenstein, sought an account of how it is that we can speak of the world - an account which avoided the early Wittgensteinian nonsense of some nonsense being important nonsense.
		Ramsey, as a student and young don, impressed G E Moore, the great economist John Maynard Keynes (despite demolishing his theory of probability) and- an unusual achievement here - even the anguished genius, Wittgenstein.

	YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> truth
		The theory is commonly attributed to Frank P. Ramsey.
		Ramsey held that the use of words like fact and truth was nothing but a roundabout way of asserting a proposition, and that treating these words as separate problems in isolation from judgment was merely a "linguistic muddle".
		A variant of redundancy theory is the disquotational theory which uses a modified form of Tarski's schema: To say that '"P" is true' is to say that P. Yet another version of deflationism is the prosentential theory of truth, first developed by Dorothy Grover, Joseph Camp, and Nuel Belnap as an elaboration of Ramsey's claims.

	Institut Nicod ----- Activities: Ramsey centenary conference
		Frank P. Ramsey is, in spite of the brevity of his life, one of the most important figures of XXth century philosophy.
		The purpose of this conference, which coincidences with the centenary of Ramsey's birth, and with the first publication of his writings in French (Vrin), is examine some of Ramsey contributions on such central topics as belief, probability and truth.
		Within a few years he wrote pioneering essays in economics, logic, mathematics, philosophy and probability theory which today not only belong to the analytical heritage, but also are still influential for contemporary discussions in many fields.

	Frank Ramsey
		Ramsey concludes the paper on induction that he read to the Apostles in 1923 by saying “a type of inference is reasonable or unreasonable according to the relative frequencies with which it leads to truth and falsehood.
		More precisely, Ramsey wants to show that: first, we can measure the degree of belief a subject has in a given proposition; and, second, that if the subject is rational his or her degrees of belief will have a measure satisfying the axioms of probability theory, a “subjective” probability.
		Ramsey saw that his method of using preferences among bets to quantify value differences required that the states defining the bets were themselves value-neutral.

		Vice-Master - of Magdalene College; and Frank's younger brother Michael went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury.
		But meanwhile the logical problem that Ramsey used his theorem to solve a special case of was shown the year after he died to have no general solution, and there was therefore no longer the point that Ramsey thought there was in trying to solve it.

	Utilizing a Cancellation Algorithm to improve the Bounds of R(5,5)
		Frank P. Ramsey, an English mathematician, philosopher, and economist, proved that complete disorder is an impossibility (1)(2).
		Ramsey first discovered his theory when he was faced by a special case for a hypothesis made by Russell and Alfred North Whitehead in their paper, Principa Mathimatica.
		It was at a preliminary stage that Ramsey's theory remained due to his premature death in 1930 at the age of 26 (1)(2)(3).

	The Ramsey Exercise
		Like Arthur Pigou (1920), Frank Ramsey argued that "society" is composed of everybody in every generation, current and future, and that they all should be given equal weight in the social welfare function.
		As outlined in our introduction, Arthur C. Pigou's (1920) assertion that myopic agents might "save too little" was taken up by the brilliant young Cambridge philosopher, Frank P. Ramsey (1928) -- long before growth theory came into its own.
		Ramsey's exercise was explicitly grounded in Benthamite utilitarianism.

	IVC Aktuell
		Ramsey was the only important thinker to actually visit Wittgenstein during his school-teaching career in Puchberg and Ottertal in the 1920s, in Lower Austria; and later, Ramsey was instrumental in getting Wittgenstein positions at Cambridge.
		This Ramsey conference is intended to provide not only historical and biographical perspectives on one of the most gifted thinkers of the Twentieth Century, but also new impulses for further research on at least some of the topics pioneered by Ramsey, whose interest and potential are greater than ever.
		There will be a special focus on the one topic which was of strongest mutual concern to Ramsey and the Vienna Circle, namely the question of foundations of mathematics, in particular the status of logicism (the view that mathematics is derivable from logic, where logic is assumed to include a higher-order theory of relations).

	ARISBE: Jaime Nubiola - Scholarship On The Relations Between Ludwig Wittgenstein And Charles S. Peirce
		In March 1923, Ogden, who had translated and published the Tractatus with the aid of Frank P. Ramsey, who was then a student (Wittgenstein 1973: 8), sent a copy of The Meaning of Meaning to Wittgenstein, who was working as a country schoolmaster in Puchberg.
		Ramsey pointed out (1923: 468) that the use of "proposition" in Tractatus, unlike Russell's use of the word in The Principles of Mathematics, was ambiguous, and that this ambiguity could have been avoided had Wittgenstein introduced Peirce's distinction between "type" and "token".
		Ramsey: according to this interpretation, it was the young Ramsey who, by awakening Wittgenstein from the dogmatic slumber of the Tractatus, guided Wittgenstein's reflections in a pragmatic direction (Passmore 1957: 425).

		This collection of eleven new papers, specially written to commemorate his centenary, answers a crying need for more secondary literature on Frank Ramsey.
		Ramsey’s highly original papers on the foundations of mathematics, probability, economics, philosophy of science and the theory of knowledge were very influential in the 20th century and are still widely discussed in the 21st.

	PlanetMath: Russell's theory of types
		The philosopher and logician Frank Plumpton Ramsey (1903-1930) was the first to notice that the axiom of reducibility in effect collapses the hierarchy of levels, so that the hierarchy is entirely superfluous in presence of the axiom.
		The original form of type theory is known as ramified type theory, and the simpler alternative with no second hierarchy of levels is known as unramified type theory or simply as simple type theory.

	The Philosophy of F. P. Ramsey - Cambridge University Press
		Ramsey was a remarkably creative and subtle philosopher who in the briefest of academic careers (he died tragically in 1930 aged 26) made significant contributions to logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and decision theory.
		This book is the first critical study of Ramsey's work, offering a thorough exposition and interpretation of his ideas, setting the ideas in their historical context, and assessing their significance for contemporary research.
		The study is intended to complement the reissue of Ramsey's papers edited by Professor Hugh Mellor.

		But after failing to define the contents of beliefs as effectively as their degrees, Ramsey concludes that his view, that ‘the meaning of a sentence [expressing a belief] is to be defined by reference to the actions to which asserting it would lead’, remains ‘very vague and undeveloped’ (1990a: 51).
		Ramsey starts by observing that we can‘say that a chicken believes a certain sort of caterpillar to be poisonous, and mean by that merely that it abstains from eating such caterpillars on account of unpleasant experiences connected with them’.

	INFORMS: Ramsey Award of the Decision Analysis Society of INFORMS
		Frank Plumpton Ramsey was the first to express an operational theory of decision-making based on the dual, intertwining notions of judgmental probability and utility.
		To Ramsey, probability was an expression of a degree of belief interpreted as operationally meaningful in terms of a willingness to act based on that belief.
		In his essay "truth and Probability" in 1926, Ramsey adopted what is now termed the decision-theoretic point of view.
