Proposed Roads to Freedom- By Bertrand Russell
…The intensity of faith has diminished as the number of believers has increased
Bertrand Russell is a brilliant man. I can’t reiterate the previous sentence enough to exhibit the magnitude of this belief about him that I have developed not through the wont of a young man to find a role model but through experience. I have now read at least four of his works and cannot resort to nitpicking this time. What remains to be read is his autobiography. To be perfectly honest, I’m saving it for the days I lose hope in the society, or think human existence meaningless. It will become my saving grace then; for no person has influenced me as much as Bertrand Russell.
The clarity of thoughts with which Bertrand Russell expresses his opinions is a veritable harbinger of high fidelity to logic. The way he bases his arguments on suppositions that he never forgets to convey to the reader renders all his works very concrete. His thoughts on matters of economy and society are not beads of a diamond necklace but impalpable steps of strong mathematical induction. This work is just the same: It discusses anarchy, socialism, and syndicalism in a great detail in an attempt to find the best road to freedom. Bertrand Russell not only demonstrates the flaws of each of these systems but also suggests ways to eliminate these flaws. The work culminates with a beautiful picture of a near-perfect society where all- artists, scientists and workers will flourish. I recommend this book to all who want to have a happily ever after.
