The Prospects of Industrial Civilization by Bertrand Russell
Considered to be one of his most ambitious works, Russell argues that industrialism is a threat to human freedom, since it is fundamentally linked with nationalism. This is rare glimpse into often-ignored subtleties of Russells political thought.Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was one of the most formidable thinkers of the modern era. A philosopher, mathematician, educational innovator, champion of intellectual, social and sexual freedom, and a campaigner for peace and human rights, he was also a prolific writer of popular and influential books, essays and lectures on an extensive range of subjects.
Considered to be one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell is widely renowned for his provocative writings. These definitive works offer profound insights and forward-thinking perspectives on a changing western society progressively shaped, most significantly, by two world wars, the decline of British imperialism and an evolving moral landscape.
