Here is an .mp3 of this classic text on bare plurals.
We have in the studio Bertrand Russell, who talked to us
in the series “Sense Perception and Nonsense: Number 7,
Is this a dagger I see before me?” Bertrand Russell.
Russell: One of the advantages of living in Great Court,
Trinity I seem to recall, was the fact that one could pop
across at any time of the day or night and trap the then
young G. E. Moore into a logical falsehood by means of
a cunning semantic subterfuge. I recall one occasion
with particular vividness. I had popped across and had
knocked upon his door. “Come in,” he said. I decided
to wait awhile in order to test the validity of his
proposition. “Come in,” he said once again. “Very
well,” I replied, “if that is in fact truly what you
wish.”
I opened the door accordingly and went in, and there
was Moore seated by the fire with a basket upon his
knees. “Moore,” I said, “do you have any apples in that
basket?” “No,” he replied, and smiled seraphically, as
was his wont. I decided to try a different logical
tack. “Moore,” I said, “do you then have some apples in
that basket?” “No,” he replied, leaving me in a logical
cleft stick from which I had but one way out. “Moore,”
I said, “do you then have apples in that basket?”
“Yes,” he replied. And from that day forth, we remained
the very closest of friends.
