Who is one of the founders of modern analytical philosophy?

Russell's pure literary ability-a genius for expressing sarcasm in fluent writing-is vividly reflected in Sketch of Knowledge Garbage: An Interesting Catalogue of Stupid Behaviors of Organizations and Individuals (1943). If Swift were still alive, he would proudly claim that it was his masterpiece.

Sketch of Intellectuals' Rubbish humorously reveals the contradictions and illogicalities in many religious beliefs, nationalists' boasting and sexual behavior. It fully embodies Russell's thoughts and the outstanding characteristics of the mathematician who won Nobel Prize in Literature's literary appreciation.

Russell was a scholar and social activist all his life, and his lifelong ambition was to pursue truth and justice. As a philosopher, his thought has gone through several stages, such as absolute idealism, logical atomism, new realism and neutral monism. His main contribution is first in mathematical logic. His logical atomism and new realism based on mathematical logic made him one of the founders of modern analytical philosophy.

Most of Russell's works can combine the profundity of theory with the popularity of expression, which is not only the speculation of Aristotle and Hegel, but also the literary talent in Voltaire's works. His fluent and fresh prose enjoys a high reputation in English literature.
