Principles of Social Reconstruction

Principles of Social Reconstruction Book Description

This book by Bertrand Russell is published in Turkish for the first time...

The book you have in hand is considered to be B. Russell's most important contribution to political philosophy. In this book, we witness Russell's break with classical liberalism and his development of a comprehensive political theory examining modern capitalism.

The eagerness with which people slaughtered each other in World War I horrified Russell. In the face of the inability of liberal thought to explain what is happening, Russell develops a political theory based on "the belief that impulses are more effective in shaping human life." Modern daily life suppresses creative and constructive impulses so much that people try to relieve their dissatisfaction with war.

Russell argues that we cannot achieve the new society without building the institutions of state, economy, education and family in a way that unleashes creative impulses. Self-management in national affairs and in the workplace is the fundamental principle of this reconstruction.
