Bertrand Arthur William Russell

BBC 1959 interview.
- Bertrand Arthur William Russell — philosopher, historian, logician, mathematician, pacifist — was born 18 May 1872 (Ravenscroft, Trelleck, Monmouthshire, Wales) and died 2 February 1970 (Penrhyndeudraeth, Merioneth, Wales).

Russell was an influential philosopher and mathematician. He led the British “revolt against Idealism” in the early 1900s and is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his protégé Wittgenstein and his German elder Frege. He co-authored, with A. N. Whitehead, Principia Mathematica, an attempt to ground mathematics on logic. His philosophical essay “On Denoting” has been considered a “paradigm of philosophy.”^[2] Both works have had a considerable influence on logic, mathematics, set theory, linguistics and analytic philosophy.
