>Tfw you wonder how on earth Russell managed to get such a good reputation in the field of philosophy

It was down to the edgy atheism, right?

By that, I don't mean that atheism is edgy in and by itself; just Russell's version.

Chesterton ran so many rings around him back then, it makes for good reading.

It was being a feelgood liberal (I know he was a socialist) with principia mathematica fame the establiahment could use as a defence of the status quo.

I wouldn't call him an atheist, per se. His "Analysis of Mind" lecture isn't exactly materialist. At least not in the classical "edgy atheism" sense.
Also I really don't understand why people keep saying he was a positivist autist. He literally demonstrated how dumb it is to take that shit too far.
