Publisher's Summary

“Liberty demands self-government, but not the right to interfere with others.”

“The object of education ought not to be to make all men think alike, but to make each think in the way which is the fullest expression of his own.”

“You may kill an artist or a thinker, but you cannot acquire his art or his thought. You may put a man do death because he loves his fellow men, but you will not by so doing acquire the love which made his happiness.”

― Bertrand Russell, Political Ideals

"Political Ideals" was written during the upheaval of World War One. It is, in many ways, a statement, of Russell's beliefs, a declaration of the ideas that influenced his thinking on the major events of the 20th century. In this sense, it is essential learning for every student of this great philosopher.
