An understanding of this structure should greatly assist in the settling of disagreements in Russellian scholarship. For instance, we have found that Russellian analysis is primarily analysis of propositions and only indirectly is it analysis of entities. Yet equally clearly, we have found that Russell’s main interest is in the latter part of the enterprise. This is enough to show that Ayer’s disagreement with Weitz, noted in Chapter One, is of little consequence. Weitz is quite correct in his finding that it is only by analysis of symbols that Russell is able to analyse what they symbolise. Equally, Ayer is correct that Russell’s prime interest is in the “ontological question”. What remains at issue between Ayer and Weitz is the merely verbal question of whether the “central part” of Russellian analysis is ontological.

This article outlines and discusses some plausible examples of group learning. Drawing on these examples, various principles and issues that surround the notion of group learning are identified and discussed. These principles and issues are then further elaborated in the context of a detailed discussion of practice theory and its relevance for thinking about group learning and group practice.
