	Bertrand Russell (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Russell's contributions to logic and the foundations of mathematics include his discovery of Russell's paradox, his defense of logicism (the view that mathematics is, in some significant sense, reducible to formal logic), his development of the theory of types, and his refining of the first-order predicate calculus.
		Russell's response was to introduce the axiom of reducibility, an axiom that lessened the vicious circle principle's scope of application, but which many people claimed was too ad hoc to be justified philosophically.
		Russell's social influence stems from three main sources: his long-standing social activism, his many writings on the social and political issues of his day, and his popularizations of technical writings in philosophy and the natural sciences.

	Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge
		Bertrand Russell’s Theory of Knowledge (1913) is an analysis of the differences which may occur between various cognitive relations (such as attention, sensation, memory, and imagination), and is an explanation of how cognitive data (such as perceptions and concepts) may become elements of knowledge.
		Russell argues that sensation is a relation of acquaintance with a particular object, and that the object of sensation is simultaneously present for the subject.
		Russell explains that acquaintance with a complex of objects may not necessarily imply that the subject is aware of all the individual constituents of that complex.

	Bertrand Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Russell was born at the height of Britain's economic and political ascendancy.
		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.
		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.

	Bertrand Russell - MSN Encarta
		Russell and Whitehead proved that numbers can be defined as classes of a certain type, and in the process they developed logic concepts and a logic notation that established symbolic logic as an important specialization within the field of philosophy.
		Russell condemned both sides in World War I (1914-1918), and for his uncompromising stand he was fined, imprisoned, and deprived of his teaching post at Cambridge.
		Russell received the 1950 Nobel Prize for Literature and was cited as “the champion of humanity and freedom of thought.” He led a movement in the late 1950s advocating unilateral nuclear disarmament by Britain, and at the age of 89 he was imprisoned after an antinuclear demonstration.

		Bertrand Russell, the third Earl Russell, is the twentieth century's most important liberal thinker, one of two or three of its major philosophers, and a prophet for millions of the creative and rational life.
		Russell had little idea of his abilities until he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1890, for he was educated in virtual isolation while bearing painful if hidden psychic scars from his early bereavement.
		Along with George Orwell, Russell was one of the few Western intellectuals on the Left not to be seduced by the claims of Marxist theory and Bolshevik practice in Russia, nor was he beguiled by Fascism.

	Russell, Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3d Earl. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Russell had a distinguished background: His grandfather Lord John Russell introduced the Reform Bill of 1832 and was twice prime minister; his parents were both prominent freethinkers; and his informal godfather was John Stuart Mill.
		Russell studied at Trinity College, Cambridge (1890–94), where later he was a fellow (1895–1901) and a lecturer (1910–16).
		If Russell’s logic was not always unassailable, his life showed that ethical relativism could be combined with a passionate social conscience, and that passionate commitment could be stated without dogmatism.

		Though Russell was a pioneer of logical positivism, which was further developed by such philosophers from 'Vienna circle' as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Rudolf Carnap, he never identified himself fully with the group.

	20th WCP: Bertrand Russell on Critical Thinking
		Russell's account anticipates many of the insights to be found in the recent critical thinking literature, and his views on critical thinking are of enormous importance in understanding the nature of educational aims.
		Russell recognizes clearly, indeed it is a large part of the problem which critical thinking must address, that one becomes a victim of habit if the habitual beliefs of one's own age constitute a prison of prejudice.
		Russell describes critical undogmatic receptiveness as the true attitude of science, and often speaks of the scientific outlook, the scientific spirit, the scientific temper, a scientific habit of mind and so on, but Russell does not believe that critical thinking is only, or invariably, displayed in science.

	Bertrand Russell
		Bertrand Russell was already 42 years old when the First World War broke out, with his best work in philosophy arguably behind him.
		Russell reasserted the British empirical tradition: knowledge is a matter of a relation between individual minds and independent objects in the world.
		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.

	When Bertrand Russell advocated preventive atomic war
		Russell's pupil T. Eliot said the same: '[Russell] considered any excuse good enough for homicide.' It was not that Russell had any taste for fisticuffs.
		Since Russell later tried to deny, obfuscate or explain away his views during this period, it is important to set them out in some detail and in chronological order.

	The Love of Liberty and the Impulse to Coercion: Bertrand Russell Revisited by Richard Wall
		Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was a master at seeing and cutting through this sort of humbug and hypocrisy, and was a relentless seeker after truth.
		Russell was educated in the classical English liberal tradition, and he was later an unabashed admirer of the Constitution of the United States.
		I believe it is possible to understand the light and dark sides of Russell’s personality, and the chemistry of people’s polarized reactions to him, by examining his genetic inheritance and his upbringing, and placing them in their social and historical context (or, as conventional usage has it, the differential impact of nature and nurture).
