Sowell cites Bertrand Russell, Noam Chomsky and Edmund Wilson as paradigmatic examples of this phenomenon.

Gottlob Frege did explicitly axiomatize a theory in which the formalized version of naive set theory can be interpreted, and it is this formal theory which Bertrand Russell actually addressed when he presented his paradox.

Bertrand Russell, the first to discuss the paradox in print, attributed it to G. G. Berry ( 1867 – 1928 ), a junior librarian at Oxford's Bodleian library, who had suggested the more limited paradox arising from the expression " the first undefinable ordinal ".

In the 20th century, the philosopher Bertrand Russell expressed his criticism of Christianity in Why I Am Not a Christian, formulating his rejection of Christianity in the setting of logical arguments.

In 1958 he was, along with Bertrand Russell, one of a group of notables to establish the Homosexual Law Reform Society.

Bertrand Russell ( 1959 ) wrote, " Beyond doubt [...] he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever.

Collins was chosen as its Chairman, Bertrand Russell as its President and Peggy Duff as its organising secretary.

In 1960 Bertrand Russell resigned from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in order to form the Committee of 100, which became, in effect, the direct action wing of CND.

More recently Bertrand Russell sought to develop a formal language based on logical atoms.

Wisher based his performance as Davros on the philosopher Bertrand Russell.

Bertrand Russell is famous for distinguishing " knowledge by description " ( a form of knowledge that ) and " knowledge by acquaintance " in Problems of Philosophy.

According to the direct-reference view, an early version of which was originally proposed by Bertrand Russell, and perhaps earlier by Gottlob Frege, a proper name strictly has no meaning when there is no object to which it refers.

As said by Bertrand Russell:

* Euclid's axioms: In his dissertation to Trinity College, Cambridge, Bertrand Russell summarized the changing role of Euclid's geometry in the minds of philosophers up to that time.

The Epimenides paradox appears explicitly in " Mathematical Logic as Based on the Theory of Types ", by Bertrand Russell, in the American Journal of Mathematics, volume 30, number 3 ( July, 1908 ), pages 222 – 262, which opens with the following:

* Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, Principia Mathematica to * 56, Cambridge at the University Press, 1962.

* Bertrand Russell, Human Knowledge, 1948

He is well known for debating the existence of God with Bertrand Russell in a celebrated 1948 BBC broadcast ; the following year he debated logical positivism and the meaningfulness of religious language with his friend the analytic philosopher A. J. Ayer.

" Between 1945 and 1947, with A. J. Ayer and Bertrand Russell, he contributed a series of articles and essays to Polemic, a short-lived British " Magazine of Philosophy, Psychology, and Aesthetics " edited by the ex-Communist Humphrey Slater.

He was, with Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and ( before them ) Gottlob Frege, one of the founders of the analytic tradition in philosophy.

The Tractatus, as Bertrand Russell saw it ( though it should be noted that Wittgenstein took strong exception to Russell's reading ), had been an attempt to set out a logically perfect language, building on Russell's own work.

noted American ballad scholar Bertrand Bronson once said that Sharp's Appalachian collection was the best regional song collection ever made in America.

The volumes are well-illustrated, with precise engravings by Jean Elie Bertrand ( 1737 – 1779 ) a noted typographer from Neuchâtel, where the printing was done.

Designed by noted Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg, construction on the complex began in 1976, and the smallest building, the Basic Sciences Health Tower was completed that year.

Bretons were apparently noted axe users, with Bertrand du Guesclin and Olivier de Clisson both wielding axes in battle.

Katherine Louisa ( 1844 – 74 ) married John Russell, Viscount Amberley ; mother of the philosopher Bertrand Russell ( a noted agnostic )

Perhaps the main argument offered against this possibility in the history of philosophy is the argument from analogy ( other things have minds if they are sufficiently similar to us ); it can be found in the works of John Stuart Mill, A. J. Ayer, and Bertrand Russell.

Bertrand Russell points out that this does not exactly defeat the argument of Parmenides, but rather ignores it by taking the rather modern scientific position of starting with the observed data ( motion etc.

( Later, a similar argument was found in the papers of Bertrand Russell ).

In 2003, following an argument about infidelity, Bertrand Cantat, drunk at the time, beat his girlfriend Marie Trintignant, also drunk, multiple times in a hotel room in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The argument escalated until Bertrand finally left the band which then broke up for good shortly after.

In a report to the International War Crimes Tribunal ( founded by Bertrand Russell ) at the end of 1967, it was stated that: " The soldiers discovered that rice is one of the most maddeningly difficult substances to destroy ; using thermite metal grenades it is almost impossible to make it burn and, even if one succeeds in scattering the rice, this does not stop it being harvested by patient men.

Although the Dunning – Kruger effect was put forward in 1999, David Dunning and Justin Kruger have quoted Charles Darwin (" Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge ") and Bertrand Russell (" One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision ") as authors who have recognised the phenomenon.

While some examples of earlier prose strike modern readers as poetic, prose poetry is commonly regarded as having originated in 19th-century France, where its practitioners included Aloysius Bertrand, Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé.

Bertrand Russell offered a " solution " to the paradoxes based on modern physics, but Brown concludes " Given the history of ' final resolutions ', from Aristotle onwards, it's probably foolhardy to think we've reached the end.

Bertrand considers only special cases of problems from electrodynamics and heat conduction, but his article contains in distinct terms all basic ideas of modern proof of the pi – theorem and clear indication of the use of the pi – theorem for modelling physical phenomena.

Although the formalisation of logic was much advanced by the work of such figures as Gottlob Frege, Giuseppe Peano, Bertrand Russell, and Richard Dedekind, the story of modern proof theory is often seen as being established by David Hilbert, who initiated what is called Hilbert's program in the foundations of mathematics.

The best-known modern British advocate of free love was the philosopher Bertrand Russell, later Third Earl Russell, who said that he did not believe he really knew a woman until he had made love with her.

About 1215 Bertrand de Bar-sur-Aube, in the introductory lines to his Girart de Vienne, set out a subdivision of the Matter of France into three cycles, which have been adopted by many modern critics as a useful means of grouping the chansons de geste.

Bertrand Méheust, a French sociologist, in his 1978 book Science-fiction et soucoupes volantes ( Science-Fiction and flying saucers ), claimed that almost every aspect of the UFO phenomena can be located in pulp magazines of the beginning of the 20th century, well before the beginning of the modern UFO phenomena around 1947.

Nobel Laureate Bertrand Russell's In Praise of Idleness ; And other essays is another book that explores the virtues of being idle in the modern society.

This modern Platonism ( sometimes rendered " platonism ," with a lower-case p, to distinguish it from the ancient schools ) has been endorsed in one way or another at one time or another by numerous philosophers ( most of whom taking a particular interest in the philosophy and foundations of logic and mathematics ), including Bernard Bolzano, Gottlob Frege, Edmund Husserl, Bertrand Russell, Alonzo Church, Kurt Gödel, W. V.
