 Bertrand Russell Biography
One of the major complaints against Russell's theory, due originally to P. Strawson, is that definite descriptions do not claim that their object exists, they merely presuppose that it does.
However, he came to disagree with Wittgenstein's later approach to philosophy, while Wittgenstein came to think of Russell as "superficial and glib." Russell's influence also lies heavily on the work of W. Quine, Karl Popper, and a number of others.
He opposed England's participation in World War I and as a result was first fined, then lost his professorship at Trinity College of Cambridge University and later imprisoned for six months.
