Russell is best known among philosophers and mathematicians for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. His most influential contributions include his defense of logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic), and his theories of definite descriptions and logical atomism. Along with G. E. Moore, Russell is generally recognized as one of the founders of [analytic philosophy]?. Along with Kurt Gödel, he is also often credited with being one of the two most important logicians of the twentieth century, in no small measure due to the enormous achievement represented by Russell's work with [Alfred North Whitehead]? on Principia Mathematica. He originated Russells paradox which led directly to the creation of axiomatic set theory. In 1950, Russell was made Nobel Laureate in Literature. |
