Bertrand Russell



First published Thu Dec 7, 1995; substantive revision Tue Oct 15, 2024

Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872–1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. His most influential contributions include his championing of logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic), his refining of Gottlob Frege’s predicate calculus (which still forms the basis of most contemporary systems of logic), his theories of definite descriptionslogical atomism and logical types, and his theory of neutral monism (the view that the world consists of just one type of substance which is neither exclusively mental nor exclusively physical).
