http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~bertrand/

Extractions: Bertrand Russell, the third Earl Russell, is the twentieth century's most important liberal thinker, one of two or three of its major philosophers, and a prophet for millions of the creative and rational life. He was born in 1872, at the height of Britain's economic and political ascendancy, and died in 1970 when Britain's empire had all but vanished and her power had been drained in two victorious but debilitating world wars. At his death, however, his voice still carried moral authority, for he was one of the world's most influential critics of nuclear weapons and the American war in Vietnam. Although born into one of Britain's most distinguished aristocratic Whig families, he became a persistent advocate of social democracy and other progressive causes, such as women's rights, peace among nations and a scientific approach to eradicate personal and public irrationality. His grandfather as Lord John Russell had been the architect of the Great Reform Bill of 1832, which extended the franchise peacefully to many in the middle classes. Orphaned before he was four years old, Bertrand Russell was brought up by his grandmother who tried to train him to become Prime Minister in the tradition of his grandfather.

Russell's Paradox
A nuanced article on this paradox of naive set theory, happened upon by russell in 1901. Includes Category Society Philosophy Philosophers russell, bertrand and foundations for arithmetic logic paraconsistent mathematics inconsistent Peano, Giuseppe Principia Mathematica russell, bertrand type theory
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/russell-paradox/

Extractions: JUN Russell's paradox is the most famous of the logical or set-theoretical paradoxes. The paradox arises within naive set theory by considering the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. Such a set appears to be a member of itself if and only if it is not a member of itself, hence the paradox. Some sets, such as the set of all teacups, are not members of themselves. Other sets, such as the set of all non-teacups, are members of themselves. Call the set of all sets that are not members of themselves S. If S is a member of itself, then by definition it must not be a member of itself. Similarly, if S is not a member of itself, then by definition it must be a member of itself. Discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, the paradox has prompted much work in logic, set theory and the philosophy and foundations of mathematics. Russell appears to have discovered his paradox in May of 1901 while working on his Principles of Mathematics (1903). Cesare Burali-Forti, an assistant to Giuseppe Peano, had discovered a similar antinomy in 1897 when he noticed that since the set of ordinals is well-ordered, it, too, must have an ordinal. However, this ordinal must be both an element of the set of all ordinals and yet greater than every such element.
What Is An Agnostic?
bertrand russell on Agnosticism
http://www.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/humftp/E-text/Russell/agnostic.htm

Extractions: An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time. No. An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism. His attitude may be that which a careful philosopher would have towards the gods of ancient Greece. If I were asked to prove that Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and the rest of the Olympians do not exist, I should be at a loss to find conclusive arguments. An Agnostic may think the Christian God as improbable as the Olympians; in that case, he is, for practical purposes, at one with the atheists. Since you deny `God's Law', what authority do you accept as a guide to conduct?

Extractions: Bertrand Russell published a large number of books on logic, the theory of knowledge, and many other topics. He is one of the most important logicians of the 20th Century. Russell's Mathematical Contributions Over a long and varied career, Bertrand Russell made ground-breaking contributions to the foundations of mathematics and to the development of contemporary formal logic, as well as to analytic philosophy. His contributions relating to mathematics include his discovery of Russell's paradox, his defence of logicism (the view that mathematics is, in some significant sense, reducible to formal logic), his introduction of the theory of types, and his refining and popularizing of the first-order predicate calculus. Along with he is usually credited with being one of the two most important logicians of the twentieth century.
Causal Processes
bertrand russell, Wesley Salmon, and conserved quantities. By Phil Dowe for The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-process/

Extractions: DEC causal processes such as atoms decaying and billiard balls moving across the table from pseudo processes such as moving shadows and spots of light. These philosophers have found, in the notion of a causal process, a key to understanding causation in general. The law of causality, I believe, like much that passes muster among philosophers, is a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm. (Russell, 1913, p. 1). In that paper Russell argued that the philosopher's concept of causation involving, as it does, the law of universal determinism that every event has a cause and the associated concept of causation as a relation between events, is "otiose" and in modern science is replaced by the concept of causal laws understood in terms of functional relations, where these causal laws are not necessarily deterministic. However, in a later book written in 1948, entitled

Logical Constructions
bertrand russell referred to several different definitions and philosophical analyses as providing logical constructions of certain entities and expressions. From the Stanford Encyclopedia, by Bernard Linsky.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logical-construction/

Extractions: JUN Bertrand Russell referred to several different definitions and philosophical analyses as providing "logical constructions" of certain entities and expressions. Examples he cited were the Frege/Russell definition of numbers as classes of equinumerous classes, the theory of definite descriptions, the construction of matter from sense data, and several others. Generally expressions for such entities are called "incomplete symbols" and the entities themselves "logical fictions". The notion originates with Russell's logicist program of reducing mathematics to logic, was widely used by Russell, and led to the later Logical Positivist notion of construction and ultimately the widespread use of set theoretic models in philosophy. Russell's most specific formulation of logical construction as a method in Philosophy comes from his essay "Logical Atomism": Russell was speaking of logical constructions in this memorable passage from his Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy The notion of logical construction appears frequently with the idea that what is defined is a "logical fiction", and an "incomplete symbol". The latter term derives from the use of contextual definitions, providing an analysis of each sentence in which a defined symbol may occur without, however, giving an explicit definition, an equation or universal statement giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the application of the term in isolation. The terms "fiction" and "incomplete symbol" apply with differing aptness to various constructions.

Extractions: When the First World War was declared two pacifists, Clifford Allen and Fenner Brockway , formed the No-Conscription Fellowship (NCF), an organisation that encouraged men to refuse war service. The group received support from public figures such as Bertrand Russell Philip Snowden Bruce Glasier Robert Smillie , and Rev. John Clifford Over 3,000,000 men volunteered to serve in the British Armed Forces during the first two years of the war. Due to heavy losses at the Western Front the government decided to introduce conscription (compulsory enrollment) by passing the Military Service Act. At first only single men were called up but by 1918 married men of fifty were being conscripted into the army.
