Bertrand Arthur William Russell, (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a British mathematician, philosopher, logician, and public intellectual. He had a considerable influence on mathematics, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science and various areas of analytic philosophy, especially philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics.
He was one of the early 20th century's most prominent logicians, and a founder of analytic philosophy, along with his predecessor Gottlob Frege, his friend and colleague G. E. Moore and his student and protégé Ludwig Wittgenstein. Russell with Moore led the British "revolt against idealism". Together with his former teacher A. N. Whitehead, Russell wrote Principia Mathematica, a milestone in the development of classical logic, and a major attempt to reduce the whole of mathematics to logic (see Logicism). Russell's article "On Denoting" has been considered a "paradigm of philosophy".
Russell was a pacifist who championed anti-imperialism and chaired the India League.He occasionally advocated preventive nuclear war, before the opportunity provided by the atomic monopoly had passed and he decided he would "welcome with enthusiasm" world government. He went to prison for his pacifism during World War I. Later, Russell concluded that the war against Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany was a necessary "lesser of two evils" and also criticized Stalinist totalitarianism, condemned the United States' war on Vietnam and was an outspoken proponent of nuclear disarmament. In 1950, Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought". He was also the recipient of the De Morgan Medal (1932), Sylvester Medal (1934), Kalinga Prize (1957), and Jerusalem Prize (1963).

Los caminos Los caminos de la libertad: el socialismo, el anarquismo y el sindicalismola libertad pdf by Bertrand Russell

«No me refiero a que la libertad sea el mayor de todos los bienes, apunta Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) en las páginas de este libro fascinante, sino a que las mejores cosas, como la creatividad artística, el amor o el pensamiento, tienen su origen en ella.» Escrito en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, poco antes de que su autor fuera encarcelado por sus postulados pacifistas, Caminos de libertad recorre con pasos críticos y esperanzados las tres grandes corrientes ideológicas,el socialismo, el anarquismo y el sindicalismo, que a principios del siglo XX prometían
conducir por derroteros muy distintos la historia de la humanidad. No satisfecho del todo con las tesis de Marx y Bakunin ni con las de los sindicalistas, Russell desarrolla su propia visión del «mundo como podría construirse». La necesidad de conjugar al máximo la libertad y la justicia económica se enriquece con la reivindicación de un mayor «goce de vivir» frente a la «la triste tragedia cotidiana de la vida moderna».
