Written in response to the devastation of World War I, “Why Men Fight” lays out Bertrand Russell's ideas on war, pacifism, reason, impulse, and personal liberty. Russell argues that when individuals live passionately, they will have no desire for war or killing. Conversely, excessive restraint or reason causes us to live unnaturally and with hostility toward those who are unlike ourselves.

Quotes

  • Anesu Amon Kasirorihas quoted3 years ago
    The citizen who is out of sympathy with the aims of the State, unless he is a man of very rare gifts, cannot hope to persuade the State to adopt purposes which seem to him better.

    Interesting perspective which connects with me personally. Must continue to read on this notion
