Get an original essay IntroductionBertrand Arthur William Russell (1872-1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist, and social critic. He was famous for his best work in mathematical logic and analytical philosophy. He is the main founder of modern analytical philosophy. Over the course of his long career, Russell also made significant contributions to a wide range of other topics, including ethics, politics, educational theory, the history of ideas, and religious studies.'Bertrand Russell is a thin, dark-haired man, with a prominent forehead, bright eyes, strong features except the withdrawn chin, nervous hands, and quick, alert movements. In his way of dressing and in his outward bearing he is treated with the utmost care, conventionally correct and meticulously polite, and in speaking he has an almost affectedly clear enunciation of words and a precision of expression. In morals he is a Puritan; in personal habits almost an ascetic, except that he lives for efficiency and therefore demands to be kept in the best physical condition. But intellectually he is bold: an iconoclast, he detests religions or social conventions, he distrusts feelings, he believes in the "order of thought" and the order of things, in logic and science. He is a delightful talker, especially in general conversation. He does not like boredom and hates any kind of selfish selfishness or crassness. He looks at the world from a height of detachment, dissects people and demolishes causes.' - Beatrice Webb, member of the Fabian Society In the essay "The Harm Good Men Do", he mentioned Jeremy Bentham, who lived a century before him and said that "people should make their dead grandmothers' soup". Apparently this statement conveys a negative meaning and was used to portray a negative image of the person, so Jeremy was considered an evil person. But Russell suggests that this statement has been interpreted incorrectly. He defines the good man as a good man. We know that 'The exercise of virtue is its own reward.' Russell admits that Bentham supported his own definition of a good man. His definition of a good man is contrary to the church's assertion of morality. He says that the 19th century world was very good for England because England progressed rapidly. This period began with the Reform Act (started in 1832 in England). The Reform Act introduced some laws which are listed below: The middle class were allowed to make presentations in parliament. Salary in Jamaica has been banned. The punishment for theft was hanging, but this punishment was limited to the crime of murder. Corn Bill introduced. (The Corn Law was a tariff, and other trade restrictions on the importation of food and grain were abolished in 1864.) Compulsory education was introduced in 1870. Russell states that much of this development was due to the effort of Jeremy Bentham. According to Russell, Jeremy Bentham was an English reformer and founder of the modern era. His philosophy
