Wow. Gonna look like an idiot for saying this but for some reason unbeknownst to me, I thought Russell was German up until I read that post.

Hume was Scottish.

Also Russel is pleb tier. He wasn't a philosopher he just did logic puzzles and stupid math shit all day.

If Bertrand Russell was a biologist born in the 1940's he would be Richard Dawkins

p good
his descriptivism was mostly trashed by kripke and his attempts to found math were mostly misguided and failed but he was a great activist and pillar of positive intellectualism
developed the basic formal logic sign system, complicated set theory, etc.
hard to think about how math or logic would be without him
severely underrated as a philosopher, as well-known as he is
plus he fucked pretty much everyone

Looks like another inbred insular degenerate.

Russell was a great swansong to a particular era of philosophy, and a great posterchild for analyticity. Plus there are loads of little funny stories about his dry wit, which is always good.

Unfortunately, work under the Russellian model still continues post-Wittgenstein.

I enjoyed his series of lectures on the Authority and the Individual.
