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

ラッセル関係電子書籍一覧

I will quote (form The Impact of Science on Society, 1952) the paragraph summing up what I thought necessary if the world is to be saved:

'There are certain things that our age needs, and certain things that it should avoid. It needs compassion and a wish that mankind should be happy; it needs the desire for knowledge and the determination to eschew pleasant myths; it needs, above all, courageous hope and the impulse to creativeness. The things that it must avoid and that have brought it to the brink of catastrophe are cruelty, envy, greed, competitiveness, search for irrational subjective certainty, and what Freudians call the death wish.'
