Bertrand Russell (May 18, 1872-
February 2, 1970), philosopher,
mathematician, and political activist,
was a prolific and controversial writer
on an extraordinary range of topics,
including education, social science,
politics, ethics, and religion. Because
of his "philosophical works . . . of
service to moral civilization," he was
awarded the 1950 Nobel Prize for
literature. While he left no school of
disciples and he himself eventually
discarded nearly all of his own
philosophical ideas, his methodology
has furnished a framework for much
modern philosophical thought.
"Russell taught us not to think his
thoughts," said philosopher Gilbert
Ryle, "but how to move in our own
philosophical thinking."
