  3. background Bertrand Arthur William Russell was born at Trelleck on 18th May, 1872. His parents were Viscount Amberley and Katherine. At the age of three he was left an orphan. His father had wished him to be brought up as an agnostic; to avoid this he was made a ward of Court, and brought up by his grandmother. Instead of being sent to school he was taught by governesses and tutors, and thus acquired a perfect knowledge of French and German. In 1890 he went into residence at Trinity College, Cambridge, and after being a very high Wrangler and obtaining a First Class with distinction in philosophy he was elected a fellow of his college in 1895. But he had already left Cambridge in the summer of 1894 and for some months was attaché at the British embassy at Paris.

  4. Additions to philosophy • In order to try to help the community try to come together he wrote many books such as Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, 1919 • The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, 1920 • The Analysis of Mind, 1921 • The Problem of China, 1922 • The ABC of Atoms, 1923 • (with Dora Russell) The Prospects of Industrial Civilization, 1923 • Logical Atomism, 1924 • The ABC of Relativity, 1925 • On Education, 1926 • The Analysis of Matter, 1927 • An Outline of Philosophy, 1927 • Skeptical Essays, 1928 • Marriage and Morals, 1929 • The Conquest of Happiness, 1930 • The Freedom and Organization 1814-1914, 1934 • In Praise of Idleness, 1935 • Which Way to Peace?, 1936 • (with Patricia Russell editor of) The Amberley Papers, 2 vols, 1937 • Power: a new Social Introduction to its Study, 1938 • An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth, ther he wrote many books such as • And many more

  5. My view • Honestly I think he was brilliant in a naive way because he thought he could devise ways to solve peoples problems. Most of them worked but some had there moments
