Contribution:

As a philosopher, Russell's thought experienced several stages, such as absolute idealism, logical atomism, new realism and neutral monism, and mainly contributed to mathematical logic, from which he established logical atomism and new realism, making him one of the founders of modern analytical philosophy.

As a logician, Russell has made great contributions to mathematical logic. Together with Whitehead, he wrote the book Principles of Mathematics, which is recognized as the basis of modern mathematical logic. His "Russell Paradox" promoted the development of logic in the 20th century, and the logicism he advocated also promoted the development of the history of mathematics to a certain extent.
