Resumen : 
The British philosopher and earnest pacifist, Bertrand Russell, born in 1872, was one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers, and an influential man in anti-war causes. He was a protector of civil rights and a defender of freedom, devoting his life to the arduous task of fomenting critical thought against war and nuclear warfare during the First and Second World Wars. In 1963, The Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation was established to continue Russell's noble work for peace and social justice, joining together eminent sponsors from different nations around the world. Being an eminent writer, Russell's books and essays were based upon his ideas, opinions, and morals, and so, in 1950, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his book Marriage and Morals. His philosophy, thought, and morals have been both recognized and questioned, especially his ideas regarding religion, since Russell tries too hard to find logical arguments to disprove the existence of God. In his essays, Why I Am Not a Christian and What I Believe, Russell expresses his beliefs about the place of man in the universe, Christian religion, and God and immortality, considering the latter not to have any support in science. Regarding education, Russell's Freedom and the Colleges, written as an opposition to the idea that he was "unfit" to be a professor at City College in New York, describes and questions the status of academic freedom, especially at universities. Throughout his long life, Russell searched for love and knowledge, aspects which became his passion. His desire was to mitigate the evil of the world, a goal which he found difficult to achieve. Bertrand Russell died in 1970, becoming an eminent 20th-century man
