Political Ideals

Bertrand Russell, a Welsh atheist, wore many hats including philosopher, historical, logician, mathematician, and social reformist. In 1950 he won a Nobel Prize in literature for his humanitarianism and freedom of thought. In this volume Russell outlines the basic tenets of his political code. He shows that to think, speak and act without interference is our most cherished freedom, and that political ideals must be based upon the ideals of the individual.
