Older browsers and/or operating systems may not display the formatting correctly. last substantive content change MAY Russell's Paradox Russell's paradox is the most famous of the logical or set-theoretical paradoxes. The paradox arises within naive set theory by considering the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. Such a set appears to be a member of itself if and only if it is not a member of itself, hence the paradox. Some sets, such as the set of all teacups, are not members of themselves. Other sets, such as the set of all non-teacups, are members of themselves. Call the set of all sets that are not members of themselves " R ." If R is a member of itself, then by definition it must not be a member of itself. Similarly, if R is not a member of itself, then by definition it must be a member of itself. Discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, the paradox has prompted much work in logic, set theory and the philosophy and foundations of mathematics.

28. What Is An Agnostic? bertrand russell on Agnosticism http://www.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/humftp/E-text/Russell/agnostic.htm

What is an Agnostic? Bertrand Russell What Is an agnostic? An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time. Are agnostics atheists? No. An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism. His attitude may be that which a careful philosopher would have towards the gods of ancient Greece. If I were asked to prove that Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and the rest of the Olympians do not exist, I should be at a loss to find conclusive arguments. An Agnostic may think the Christian God as improbable as the Olympians; in that case, he is, for practical purposes, at one with the atheists. Since you deny `God's Law', what authority do you accept as a guide to conduct?

He is one of the most important logicians of the 20 th Century. Russell's Mathematical Contributions Over a long and varied career, Bertrand Russell made ground-breaking contributions to the foundations of mathematics and to the development of contemporary formal logic, as well as to analytic philosophy. His contributions relating to mathematics include his discovery of Russell's paradox, his defence of logicism (the view that mathematics is, in some significant sense, reducible to formal logic), his introduction of the theory of types, and his refining and popularizing of the first-order predicate calculus. Along with he is usually credited with being one of the two most important logicians of the twentieth century.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Philosophers ... Literature Prize Russell, Bertrand (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher who held advanced liberal social views for his days. He campaigned for women's suffrage and education. Russell won the Nobel Prize in literature. He was also an outstanding mathematician. He believed that math is indistinguishable from logic and founded the logicist school of mathematical thought. With Whitehead , he tried to invent a system of logic on which mathematics could be based. The result was a book entitled Principia Mathematica (3 volumes, 1910-1913). , however, later showed that such efforts were doomed since any rigid logical system contains undecidable propositions. Russell is also known for the letter he sent to Frege , who was just completing his epic work on the foundations of mathematics. Russell posed the paradox: is "the set of all sets which are not members of themselves" a member of itself? This conundrum, known as Russell's paradox showed that Frege's work must not be logically consistent, and sent it crumbling.

(Russell, 1913, p. 1). In that paper Russell argued that the philosopher's concept of causation involving, as it does, the law of universal determinism that every event has a cause and the associated concept of causation as a relation between events, is "otiose" and in modern science is replaced by the concept of causal laws understood in terms of functional relations, where these causal laws are not necessarily deterministic. However, in a later book written in 1948, entitled

Bertrand Russell Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872 - 1970), the third Earl Russell, was a philosopher and influential logician, an important political liberal, activist and a popularizer of philosophy. Millions looked up to Russell as a sort of prophet of the creative and rational life; at the same time, his stance on many topics was extremely controversial. He was born in 1872, at the height of Britain's economic and political ascendancy, and died in 1970 when Britain's empire had all but vanished and her power had been drained in two victorious but debilitating world wars. At his death, however, his voice still carried moral authority, for he was one of the world's most influential critics of nuclear weapons and the American war in Vietnam. In 1950, Russell was made Nobel Laureate in Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought". Russell's philosophical and logical work In mathematical logic, Russell established Russell's paradox, which exposed an inconsistency in naive set theory and led directly to the creation of modern axiomatic set theory. He defended logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic) by creating, with

Other Constructions Bibliography ... Related Entries 1. Honest Toil Russell was speaking of logical constructions in this memorable passage from his Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy 2. Definite Descriptions and Classes The most influential of Russell's constructions was the theory of descriptions definite decription Principia Mathematica The theory of descriptions introduces Russell's notion of incomplete symbol x y Fy y x Hx The theory of descriptions is often described as a model for avoiding ontological commitment to objects such as Meinongian subsistent entities, and so logical constructions in general are often seen as being chiefly aimed at ontological goals. In fact, that goal is at most peripheral to most constructions. Rather the goal is to allow the proof of propositions that would otherwise have to be assumed as axioms or hypotheses. Nor need the ontological goal be always elimination of problematic entities. Other constructions should be seen more as reductions of one class of entity to another, or replacements of one notion by a more precise, mathematical, substitute. Principia Mathematica provides a contextual definition like the theory of descriptions. One of Russell's early diagnoses of the paradoxes was that they showed that classes could not be objects. Indeed he seems to have come across his paradox of the class of all classes that are not members of themselves by applying Cantor's argument to show that there are more classes of objects than objects. Hence, he concluded, classes could not be objects. Inspired by the theory of descriptions, Russell proposed that to say something

Library Bertrand Russell Dictionary Bertrand Russell Bertrand Russell was born in Trelleck, Gwent, as the second son of Viscount Amberley. His mother, Katherine, was the daughter of Baron Stanley of Aderley. She died of diphtheria in 1874 and her husband passed on twenty months later, so that, at the age of three, Russell was an orphan. He was brought up by his grandfather, Lord John Russell, who had been prime minister twice, and Lady John. Inspired by Euclid's Geometry , Russell displayed a keen aptitude for pure mathematics and developed an interest in philosophy. At Trinity College, Cambridge, his brilliance was soon recognized, and brought him a membership in the 'Apostles,’ a forerunner of the Bloomsbury Set. After graduating from Cambridge in 1894, Russell worked briefly at the British Embassy in Paris as honorary attaché. In the next year he became a fellow of Trinity College. Against his family's wishes, Russell married an American Quaker, Alys Persall Smith, and went with his wife to Berlin, where he studied economics and gathered data for the first of his ninety-odd books, German Social Democracy (1896).
