Abstract
This thesis traces the development in Bertrand Russell's thought concerning the nature of mind and matter between the years 1911 and 1919. It begins by examining the qualified dualism he advanced in The Problems of Philosophy and, while questioning Russell's reasoning and arguments, it follows the progression of his thought through its evolution until, with the publication of "On Propositions: what they are and how they mean", it reaches its neutral monistic phase.
