Russell Together with Albert Einstein, he released the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in 1955, calling for the curtailment of nuclear weapons. His contributions relating to mathematics include his discovery of Russell's paradox, his defence of logicism (the view that mathematics is, in some significant sense, reducible to formal logic), his introduction of the theory of types, and his refining and popularizing of the first-order predicate calculus. Russell's response to the second of these objections was to introduce, within the ramified theory, the axiom of reducibility. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Russell.html   (1474 words)

Campion Catholic High School It was a letter to Bertrand Russell in which he agreed that his name should go on a manifesto urging all nations to give up nuclear weapons. Albert Einstein was born in Württemberg, Germany in 1879.

Pugwash and Russell's Legacy by John R. Lenz The Russell-Einstein Manifesto called for scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain to unite to act upon governments to renounce nuclear weapons with a view towards the abolition of war itself. In reality, of course, both the Russell-Einstein Manifesto and the Pugwash movement shared deeper causes. Pugwash reports there that "The organization has focused its most recent efforts on environmental, energy and Third World issues." These (we might say) are all understandable as part of Russell's overarching problem, "the idea of an international order" (I.F. Stone, p. www.users.drew.edu /~jlenz/pugwash.html   (498 words)

Amazon.ca: Bertrand Russell: 1921-1970, the Ghost of Madness: Books These domestic problems aside, Monk does a marvelous job of covering the highlights of the last half of Russell's long life: his Nobel prize in literature, the Russell-Einstein Manifesto against nuclear proliferation, his imprisonment for antinuclear protests, his social and political philosophy, and his contributions to logic and analytic philosophy. Ray Monk, although he puts Russell's mathematical achievements at the pinnacle of human endeavour, finds everything else about Russell to be pathetic and disgusting. Russell had a traumatic childhood, with the death of his sister (diphtheria) then that of his mother and father coming in rapid succession at about the age of four, followed by a mostly isolated upbringing by his grandparents. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0743212150   (990 words)

ZNet Foreign Policy Einstein, Russell, and the Bomb: On July 9, 1955, addressing a public meeting in London jammed with representatives of the mass media, Russell unveiled what became known as the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. Nevertheless, in one of the last acts taken before his death, Einstein sent a letter to Russell saying that he had agreed to become a signatory. And, eventually, Russell lined up nine other eminent scientists: Percy Bridgman, Hermann Muller, and Linus Pauling of the United States; Cecil Powell and Joseph Rotblat of Britain; Hideki Yukawa of Japan; Frédéric Joliot-Curie of France; Max Born of West Germany; and Leopold Infeld of Poland. www.zmag.org /content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=11&ItemID=8230   (1062 words)

Joseph Rotblat Convinced that since scientists had created the nuclear bomb, it was scientists who should try to prevent nuclear warfare, Russell got in touch with Albert Einstein, and asked for - and got - his support. On July 9 1955 Bertrand Russell and Joseph Rotblat held a press conference in London to publicise the Manifesto, attended by press from around the world.

Geometry.Net - Nobel: Pugwash Conferences On Science And World Affairs Pugwash, named after the town in Nova Scotia where the first conference was held in 1957, grew out of a manifesto drafted in 1955 by Albert Einstein and British philosopher Bertrand Russell. It is fifty years this year since the two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and forty years since the issuing of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. The Nobel Committee cited the Conferences' "efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms." The Conferences are based on the recognition of the responsibility of scientists for their inventions. www.geometry.net /detail/nobel/pugwash_conferences_on_science_and_world_affairs.html   (1062 words)

Bertrand Russell A year later, together with Albert Einstein, he released the Russell-Einstein Manifesto calling for the curtailment of nuclear weapons. Together they form the atomic facts which, in turn, are combined to form logically complex objects. What we normally take to be inferred entities (for example, enduring physical objects) are then understood to be "logical constructions" formed from the immediately given entities of sensation, viz., "sensibilia." It is only these latter entities that are known non-inferentially and with certainty. plato.stanford.edu /entries/russell   (383 words)
