Russell, Bertrand

SUMMARY

""The supreme principle, both in politics and in private life, should be to promote all that is creative, and so to diminish the impulses and desires that center round possession."" This book, originally entitled "Why Men Fight," is generally seen as the fullest expression of Bertrand Russell's political philosophy. Russell argues that after the experience of the Great War the individualistic approach of traditional liberalism had reached its limits. Political theory must be based on the motivated forces of creativity and impulse rather than on competition. The ideas expressed in "Principles of Social Reconstruction" have greatly contributed to Russell's fame as a social critic and anti-war activist. The introduction by Richard Rempel locates them in the context of Russell's other writings and show that neither his ideas nor his language have lost their force and topicality over the years.Russell, Bertrand is the author of 'Principles of Social Reconstruction', published 1960 under ISBN 9780043200735 and ISBN 0043200737.
