Bertrand Arthur William Russell (3rd Earl Russell) (AKA Sir Bertrand Russell) ( - ) was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician and historian.

He is generally credited with being one of the founders of Analytic Philosophy, and almost all the various Analytic movements throughout the 20th Century (particularly Logicism, Logical Positivism and Ordinary Language Philosophy) owe something to Russell. His major works, such as his essay "On Denoting" and the huge "Principia Mathematica" (co-author with Alfred North Whitehead), have had a considerable influence on mathematics (especially set theory), linguistics and all areas of philosophy.

He was a prominent atheist, pacifist and anti-war activist, and championed free trade between nations and anti-imperialism. He was a prolific writer on many subjects (from his adolescent years, he wrote about 3, words a day, with relatively few corrections), and was a great popularizer of philosophy.

Russell was born on 18 May at the Russell family seat at "Ravenscroft" in the village of Trellech in Monmouthshire, southeast Wales, into an aristocratic family. T
