3rd Earl Russell

He was a man of principles, possessed of a keen intellect. A prolific writer, he produced over 90 books.

While working on his definitive Principia Mathematica he discovered what is now called Russell's Paradox: If we have a class that is not a member of itself - is it a member of itself? If yes, then no, if no, then yes. After discussions with Wittgenstein Russell was forced to accept the view that mathematical statements are tautologies, not truths about a realm of logico-mathematical entities. I think that this discovery "spoiled" the field for him, as he never again worked intesively in mathematics.
