摘　　要：在《对莱布尼茨哲学的批评性阐释》一书中,罗素批判了莱布尼茨的关系还原论,认为后者主张"关系可以还原为命题主项的性质"。罗素将此称为"单子论的关系还原论",针对这一理论,罗素构造了自己的论证,进行了反驳。莱布尼茨在自己的著作中,的确将关系视为主项的性质,但并不认为关系可以还原为性质,罗素在这点上误解了莱布尼茨。In his book A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leibniz, Russell criticizes Leibniz＇ s theory of relations which he calls ＂monadistic reduction theory＂ . In Russell＇ s view, Leibniz holds that ＂all propositions are of subject-predicate forms＂ and that therefore ＂all relations can be reduced to the properties of subject terms＂ . Leibniz indeed contends that all categorical propositions are of subject-predicate forms, but he does not think relations can be reduced. Russell misunderstands Leibniz on the latter point.
