Produktbeschreibung
Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell OM FRS (18 May 1872 - 2 February 1970) was a British polymath, philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist, and Nobel laureate. Throughout his life, Russell considered himself a liberal, a socialist and a pacifist, although he sometimes suggested that his sceptical nature had led him to feel that he had "never been any of these things, in any profound sense". Russell was born in Monmouthshire into one of the most prominent aristocratic families in the United Kingdom. In the early 20th century, Russell led the British "revolt against idealism". He is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his predecessor Gottlob Frege, colleague G. E. Moore and protégé Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Autorenporträt
Bertrand Russell was a mathematician, philosopher, logician, and public intellectual from Britain. He was born on May 18, 1872, and died on February 2, 1970. He had a big impact on math, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, and many areas of analytic philosophy, especially the philosophy of math, the philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics. He was one of the most well-known logicians in the early 20th century. He helped start analytic philosophy with Gottlob Frege, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, who was also one of his students. Russell was an anti-imperialist who fought for peace and led the India League. He sometimes called for a nuclear war to prevent another one, but once the chance presented by the atomic monopoly was gone, he said he would "welcome with enthusiasm" a world government. During World War I, he didn't want to fight, so he went to jail. He also criticized Stalinist totalitarianism, criticized the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, and was an outspoken supporter of nuclear disarmament. He also won the De Morgan Medal in 1932, the Sylvester Medal in 1934, the Kalinga Prize in 1957, and the Jerusalem Prize in 1958. (1963).
