Bertrand Russell's work in logic and set theory revolutionized mathematics and philosophy. His logicism argued for mathematics as an extension of logic, influencing analytic philosophy. The 'Principia Mathematica', co-authored with Alfred North Whitehead, sought to base all mathematics on logical axioms. Russell's insights into paradoxes in set theory led to significant advancements in modern logic and computational theory.
