	What You Can Get Away With: Conrad Russell
		I was very fortunate as a "scholarship boy" to be acquainted with Conrad Russell at Oxford in the late 1950s and often had dinner with him.

	Telegraph \| News \| Professor the Earl Russell
		Professor the 5th Earl Russell, who died yesterday aged 67, held the Chair of British History at King's College, London, from 1990 to 2002 and was a leading revisionist historian of the English Civil War; during the 1990s he became a vocal and effective spokesman for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords.
		Russell rejected those conventional interpretations of the Civil War which saw it as a clash between theories of the Divine Right of Kings and of parliamentary supremacy.
		Russell was a flamboyant figure, with a fine head of unruly hair, an ever-present cigarette and a precise, donnish voice.

	Bertrand Russell - ExampleProblems.com
		Russell thought Wittgenstein's elevation of language as the only reality with which philosophy need be concerned was absurd, and he decried his influence and the influence of his followers, especially members of the so-called Oxford school, who he believed were promoting a kind of mysticism.
		Russell's ethical outlook and his personal courage in facing controversies were certainly informed by his religious upbringing, principally by his paternal grandmother, who instructed him with the Biblical injunction, "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil" (Exodus 23:2), something he said influenced him throughout his life.
		Russell was an early critic of the official story in the John F. Kennedy assassination; his "16 Questions on the Assassination" from 1964 is still considered a good summary of the apparent inconsistencies in that case.

	Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Educated at Eton and Merton College, Oxford, Conrad Russell was one of the world's leading authorities on 17th-century British history, having extensively written and lectured on parliamentary struggles of the period.
		Russell argued that the English civil war was much less a result of long term constitutional conflicts than had previously been thought, and that its origins are to be sought rather in the years immediately preceding the outbreak of war in 1642.
		Lord Russell was elected at the top of his party's list of hereditary peers to retain their seats, though he had consistently argued in favour of abolishing the Lords completely, and replacing it with an elected senate.

	The Infidels - Bertrand Russell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Russell was not the first philosopher to suggest that language had an important bearing on how we understand the world; however, more than anyone before him, Russell made language, or more specifically, how we use language, a central part of philosophy.
		Russell, along with Moore, shared the idea that clarity of expression is a virtue, a notion that has been a touchstone for philosophers ever since, particularly among those who deal with the philosophy of language.
		Russell thought Wittgenstein's elevation of language as the only reality with which philosophy need be concerned was absurd, and he decried his influence and the influence of his followers, especially members of the so-called "Oxford school" of ordinary language philosophy, who he believed were promoting a kind of mysticism.

	Bertrand Russell Biography and List of Works - Bertrand Russell Books
		Russell's parents were quite radical for their times- Russell's father, Viscount Amberley, was an atheist and consented to his wife's affair with their children's tutor, the biologist Douglas Spalding.
		Russell continued to defend logicism, the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic, and along with his former teacher, Alfred North Whitehead, wrote the monumental Principia Mathematica, an axiomatic system on which all of mathematics can be built.
		Russell's last significant work in mathematics and logic, Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, was written by hand while he was in jail for his anti-war activities during World War I. This was largely an explication of his previous work and its philosophical significance.

	Review of Academic Freedom, by Conrad Russell, reviewed by Brian Martin
		Russell sees the problem in simple terms: the state versus the universities, specifically the British state, which wants to expand access, cut costs and control academic life, versus British universities which want to pursue knowledge for its own sake.
		Because Russell deals only with the arguments about academic freedom from the narrow perspective of finding a suitable balance between universities and the state, he has no solution to the problem of a government that rides roughshod over traditional academic values.
		Conrad Russell seems of the school of thought that when writing for a public audience, becoming versed in scholarly literature relevant to the subject is unnecessary.

	Bertrand Russell
		Russell reasserted the British empirical tradition: knowledge is a matter of a relation between individual minds and independent objects in the world.
		Russell himself had little direct influence on the Bloomsbury group, but his friend and colleague G.E.Moore was a huge influence on Keynes, Woolf, and E.M. Forster.
		It’s remarkable that Russell and Sartre, who had nothing in common as philosophers, came together in the 1960s as leading opponents of the war in Vietnam–this in spite of the fact that Russell had always been a critic of the doctrine of the "superior virtue of the oppressed" which Sartre embraced wholeheartedly.
