The Bertrand Russell Society

Prizes

The Bertrand Russell Society organizes four kinds of prize:

  • The Bertrand Russell Society Award, for activities that advance the Society’s aims
  • The Bertrand Russell Society Book Prize, for the best recently published book in Russell studies
  • The Lee Eisler Service Award, for longstanding and/or outstanding service to the Russell Society
  • The Bertrand Russell Society Student Essay Prize, for the best submitted essay by a graduate or undergraduate student.

These prizes are not necessarily awarded every year, and more than one can be awarded in a given year. For more information about each prize, and to see past recipients, we encourage you to visit the respective prize pages.

“There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal, as human beings, to human beings: Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death.”

– Russell-Einstein Manifesto, 9 July 1955
