To understand what he meant we need to consider their attitudes to defining truth. Even more revealing is the discussion of two fundamental approaches to logic: one is universalistic, and assumed by both Russell and Gödel, and the other is model‑theoretical, Alfred Tarski’s style. It turns out that a misleading or erroneous interpretation can be interesting, as it reveals something fundamental. William Byers claims that truly great ideas in mathematics and about mathematics are in a way false, as they lead to errors, but at the same time they can help to make advances in math. Logicism provides a good example. In addition it may be mentioned that when Russell argued in its favor, he committed a logical fallacy.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Russell’s ‘very interesting misinterpretation’?}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/129811/2022-04-PFIL-15.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2022.143861}, keywords={defining truth, K.
