Footnote 2c

2c. Please see the entry "Russell's philosophy of mind: neutral monism" found in The Oxford Companion to the Mind, second edition, Richard L. Gregory, ed. I suggest further that Russell used the word neutral to imply that a Leibnizian God was unnecessary (though it should be noted that Russell suspected that Leibniz's avowed belief in God was only for public relations purposes).
