Abstract
Abstract Third Earl Russell, British philosopher, mathematician, Nobel Prize-winner (Literature, 1950), civil-rights activist, and public figure. His most important philosophical works date from the first two decades of the century, and include the magisterial Prindpia Mathematica (1910–13), written jointly with Alfred North Whitehead. In the period between the world wars, he came to public notice through some influential books about morals and mores, which he claimed were written for money. After the Second World War, he was a prominent member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (and was arrested for participating in one of their protest demonstrations), and helped initiate the Pugwash conferences, international gatherings of distinguished intellectuals, mainly scientists, devoted to discussing ways to achieve and maintain world peace. His Autobiography caused a stir by its selective frankness, and by the rather unattractive picture it conveyed of the great man’s tardy yet intense emotional development.
