RUSSELL, INFINITY, AND THE TRISTRAM SHANDY PARADOX
by Shandon Guthrie
INTRODUCTION Mathematicians have puzzled for centuries what precisely we mean when we refer to the concept of infinity . Some have suggested that infinity is merely something that exists in the mind. Yet others maintain that infinity possesses some ontological status in the real world. In an attempt to demonstrate the difference between the reality of an infinite and the idea of an infinite, Aristotle had suggested the terms actual infinite (the completed whole value of infinity) and potential infinite (susceptible to infinite addition). Analytic philosopher Bertrand Russell believed that an actual infinite could be achieved as long as the counter possessed an actually infinite number of years to do it. In the example given in Sterne's novel, we have the example of Tristram Shandy. Sterne writes about Tristram Shandy as an individual committed to writing an autobiography. However, he is so slow that it takes him one year in order to complete only one day. This means that the most recent event that could be recorded is the day that occurred one year ago. As Shandy writes an additional day, it takes him an additional year to complete the events of that day. Russell uses this example and believes that an actual infinite can be achieved through successive addition only if Shandy has an infinite number of days to complete it.
RUSSELL'S ASSESSMENT OF THE TRISTRAM SHANDY PARADOX Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) suspects that the Tristram Shandy paradox can be solved. For Russell, it is the individual who possesses an infinite number of days. Of course mortal individuals possess merely a finite number of days. According to Russell, this is the key in solving the apparent problem. For a precise view of the problem, I will show the paradox numerically. The paradox posits an autobiographer who writes on every day passed. Since it takes Shandy one year (=365 days) to complete one day, then in terms of a one-to-one correspondence it would appear to be futile on a finite level:

http://mural.uv.es/jormogo/Sterne.html
Sterne, Laurence (1713-1768), novelist and English humorist, author of The life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, gentleman , one of the essential works of the English narrative of the XVIIIth century. Sterne was born in November 24 th In 1760, he settled down in London, and in spite of suffering tuberculosis he lived a social and dissolute life. His sermons (1760-1769) had a good acceptance, but the first two volumes of his most important work, the comic, intricate and picaresque novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy gentleman (1759-1767) produced a literary shock. More than for the events that it describes, Tristram Shandy highlights to reveal the thoughts and the author's feelings. It was an original and innovative work that broke the incipient conventions of the novel, confusing the expectations of their readers. He contributed original ideas about the perception, the meaning and the time that made Tristram Shandy precursor of the modern novel and of the interior monologue. He published seven more volumes between 1761 and 1767. He also published Letters to Eliza (1767), written to Eliza Draper, the most important love in his life besides his own wife. For reasons of health, from 1762 to 1764, he lived in Toulouse (France) with his wife, sick mental, and his daughter. In 1765 he carried out a long trip for France and Italy that it inspired him

Laurence Sterne, 1713–1768
Portrait by Joshua Reynolds, 1760
Biographical note
Novelist, son of an officer in the army, and the great-grandson of an Archbishop of York, was born at Clonmel, where his father’s regiment happened to be stationed, and passed part of his boyhood in Ireland. At the age of 10 he was handed over to a relation, Mr. Sterne of Elvington in Yorkshire, who put him to school at Halifax, and thereafter sent him to Cambridge He entered the Church, a profession for which he was very indifferently fitted, and through family influence procured the living of Sutton, Yorkshire. In 1741 he married a lady — Miss Lumley — whose influence obtained for him in addition an adjacent benefice, and he also became a prebendary of York. It was not until 1760 that the first two vols. of his famous novel, Tristram Shandy , appeared. Its peculiar and original style of humour, its whimsicality, and perhaps also its defiance of conventionality, and even its frequent lapses into indecorum, achieved for it an immediate and immense popularity. Sterne went up to London and became the lion of the day. The third and fourth vols. appeared in 1761, the fifth and sixth in 1762, the seventh and eighth in 1765, and the last in 1767. Meanwhile he had published the Sermons of Mr. Yorick

    Last updated 3 April 1995.
    Because Hartley has thoroughly covered Sterne scholarship from 1900 through 1977 in a pair of annotated bibliographies (items 11 and 12), I cover only articles published since 1978 with a few exceptions. There are a manageable number of books on Tristram Shandy published in the half-century, and I mention the more important; and a few articles published before 1977 are important enough (either in their own right or as influences on subsequent articles) that I include them.

    Jane Austen and Laurence Sterne
    For some time I have wondered whether Jane Austen had read Laurence Sterne's "Tristram Shandy". Both authors display great wit and honesty in their depiction of characters. "Tristram Shandy" slightly addresses the duties of clergy, a subject which interested Jane Austen. She certainly read "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy". She might also have read Sterne's "Sermons of Mr. Yorick". "Tristram Shandy" was such a notorious book that I thought perhaps Jane Austen had avoided it. She was not one to honour the merely notorious. Tristram Shandy is not "merely notorious" of course, but did Jane Austen think so? I recently ran across a reference to "Tristram Shandy" in one of Jane Austen's letters. In her letter of September 14, 1804 to her sister Cassandra, Jane Austen is describing the household arrangements during the family's visit to Lyme. She says: [character in "Sir Charles Grandison"]
    [This letter is unfortunately not one of those available online.] "Uncle Toby's annuity" is a reference to Corporal Trim in "Tristram Shandy". Trim's real name was James Butler see T.S. Vol.II Ch.V. That volume of "Tristram Shandy" was published in 1760.

    Jump to: navigation search Sterne, Laurence (1713-1768): English, Novelist, Travel writer, Sermon writer. Born in Ireland on November 24, 1713, Laurence Sterne became one of the greatest and most celebrated English novelists of the eighteenth century because of his masterpiece, Tristram Shandy . Because Sterne was poor, it simply was expected that he would become a clergyman; thus, his career derived not from an inclination or a desire but mere circumstances. Sterne was an ordained minister in the Church of England after attending Jesus College, Cambridge, but this career choice was inappropriate; he was perhaps unsuited for the clergy because of his sensual nature (he engaged in adulterous relationships and contracted syphilis), his bawdy and wicked sense of humor, and his combative nature. Sterne engaged in several bitter quarrels, such as his long dispute with his mother (he refused, for instance, her frequent requests for money) and with his Uncle Jaques (they fought over political matters such as Jaques’s support of Robert Walpole). Sterne began his writing career by composing political tracts in support of Robert Walpole and other political figures endorsed by his Uncle Jaques, a prominent clergyman who possessed great influence over church politics, and thus over Sterne’s career. Sterne later wrote

    The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
    London: 1765-1769
    Hepburn 7-15
    frontispiece and title-page of vol. 1 (Hepburn 7) Laurence Sterne's great comic novel, Tristram Shandy , was originally published between 1759 and 1767 in nine small separate volumes, the last appearing shortly before Sterne's death. Our set constitutes a copy made-up from several of the early editions: volumes 1 and 2 are of the seventh edition, printed for J. Dodsley and dated 1768 and 1769 respectively; volumes 3 and 4 are 'a new edition', printed in 1769 by Dodsley; volume 5 is of the second edition, printed by T. Becket and P.A. Dehondt in 1767; volume 6 is again from the 'new edition' , although printed by T. Becket and P.A. Dehondt in 1769; volumes 7, 8 and 9, lastly, are of the first edition, printed for T. Becket and P.A. Dehondt, dated 1765 and 1767. To protect his book from piracy, Sterne autographed the beginning of the first and second editions of volume 5 and the first editions of volumes 7 and 9: hence we find the author's signature in our copies of volumes 7 and 9. It has been estimated that Sterne had to sign his name an incredible 12,750 times to achieve this.
