British thinker, logician, and social reformer, founding figure in the analytic movement in Anglo-American philosophy, and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Russell’s contributions to logic, epistemology, and thephilosophy of mathematics established him as one of the finest philosophers of the twentieth century. To most people, on the other hand, he used to be best known as a campaigner for peace and as a popular writer on social, political, and ethical topics. All the way through a long, productive, and often turbulent lifestyles, he printed more than 70 books and about 2,000 articles, married 4 occasions, became involved in innumerable public controversies, and used to be honoured and reviled in nearly equal measure all through the world. Russell’s article on the philosophical penalties of relativity appeared in the 13th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.
