Russell's main contribution

1 philosophy

As a philosopher, Russell's thought experienced several stages, such as absolute idealism, logical atomism, new realism and neutral monism, and mainly contributed to mathematical logic, from which he established logical atomism and new realism, making him one of the founders of modern analytical philosophy.

2. Logic

As a logician, Russell has made great contributions to mathematical logic. Together with Whitehead, he wrote the book Principles of Mathematics, which is recognized as the basis of modern mathematical logic. His "Russell Paradox" promoted the development of logic in the 20th century, and the logicism he advocated also promoted the development of the history of mathematics to a certain extent.

3. History

Most analytical philosophers lack a sense of history and ignore historical issues and historical research, while Russell devoted himself to history and historical theory all his life. He has written dozens of historical papers and published historical monographs, including Freedom and Organization, 1902- 19 14 Allied Policy and History of Western Philosophy.
