    It is not the case that Russell's multiple relation theory holds that judgment relates a mind to several objects independently, so no intrinsic S-P unity exists in the proposition itself.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Without intrinsic S-P unity in propositions, it's unclear how judgment escapes being a mere list of objects lacking meaningful coherence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The multiple relation theory struggles to explain the difference between judging 'a R b' and 'b R a'—both relate identical objects in the same relations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If only minds constitute propositional unity through judgment, then the same objects couldn't constitute different propositions independently of minds.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Judgment involves a mind directly grasping multiple distinct objects, not a unified proposition-entity as intermediary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If propositions had intrinsic S-P unity, false judgments would require relating to non-existent unified entities, creating ontological problems.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The multiple relation account explains how one judgment can relate to Desdemona, Othello, and the loving relation without presupposing propositional unity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
