Bertrand Russell. Logical atomism. Natural scientific approach to ideological problems
Bertrand Russell was born in 1872 into an old British aristocratic family. The grandson of British Prime Minister John Russell, Mill’s godson, he graduated from Cambridge with honors, had the title of Lord, and lived for almost a hundred years – he died in 1970 – taking part in the most acute philosophical battles of the 20th century: on the problems of mathematics and logic, on the questions of the methodology of scientific knowledge and the language of science, on the problems of atheism and modern freethinking, on the engagement of intellectuals in political life (he was last imprisoned at the age of 89 for participating in a rally for nuclear disarmament), and finally, on the modern interpretation of the history of philosophy.
