  Bertrand Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 The Music of William Russell
Russell's music led the way in that regard, for the assimilation of jazz styles in his works betray not just his personal musical inclinations, but also his keen understanding of what was truly revolutionary at that point in time.
Russell also seemed to understand that the development of a truly independent American art form needs to draw from the multi-ethnic community that is the real America.
Russell's Compositions - Liner Notes from Essential Music's CD The Fugue was written during the winter of 1931-32, and premiered March 6, 1933, at Steinway Hall as the finale to a concert by the Pan American Association of Composers that also featured the premiere of Varese's Ionisation.

 Russell
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.
Like Gottlob Frege, Russell's basic idea for defending logicism was that numbers may be identified with classes of classes and that number-theoretic statements may be explained in terms of quantifiers and identity.
