バートランド・ラッセルの名言・警句( Bertrand Russell Quotes )


For my part, I consider that whatever is good or bad is embodied in individuals, not primarily in communities. Some philosophies which could be used to support the corporative State - notably the philosophy of Hegel - attribute ethical qualities to communities as such, so that a State may be admirable though most of its citizens are wretched. I think that such philosophies are tricks for justifying the privileges of the holders of power, and that, whatever our politics may be, there can be no valid argument for an undemocratic ethic.
