Abstract
"Russell is without question "one of the most productive and most brilliant thinkers of our age, mathematical logician, philosopher, journalist and libertar- ian."' There is probably "no figure lwhol has . . . dominated the intellectual world so long, so contentiously, and so courageously as Bertrand Russell."' In scholarly circles he has won great acclaim through his monumental publication (completed jointly with Alfred North Whitehead), Principia Mathematica, first published in 1910. This work conclusively demonstrated that mathematics was a special case of deductive logic, and, in the hands of Russell's pupil Ludwig Wittgenstein, it profoundly influenced the development of contemporary an- alytic philosophy"
