«No me refiero a que la libertad sea el mayor de todos los bienes, apunta Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) en las páginas de este libro fascinante, sino a que las mejores cosas, como la creatividad artística, el amor o el pensamiento, tienen su origen en ella.» Escrito en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, poco antes de que su autor fuera encarcelado por sus postulados pacifistas, Caminos de libertad recorre con pasos críticos y esperanzados las tres grandes corrientes ideológicas, el socialismo, el anarquismo y el sindicalismo, que a principios del siglo XX prometían
conducir por derroteros muy distintos la historia de la humanidad. No satisfecho del todo con las tesis de Marx y Bakunin ni con las de los sindicalistas, Russell desarrolla show more su propia visión del «mundo como podría construirse». La necesidad de conjugar al máximo la libertad y la justicia económica se enriquece con la reivindicación de un mayor «goce de vivir» frente a la «la triste tragedia cotidiana de la vida moderna». show less

La lecture de ce texte de Russell écrit en 1918 avant la fin de la Première guerre constitue une expérience particulière. La Révolution russe vient d'avoir lieu. Le communisme en est à ses premiers pas dans la réalité. Russell, logicien, penseur, philosophe et activiste, se penche sur le monde tel qu'il pourrat être. Il laisse libre cours à un certain utopisme et à une grande foi en l'être humain. Il lit les projets politiques que sont le socialisme, l'anarchisme et l'anarcho-syndicalisme en en évaluant la faisabilité dans un contexte idéal tout en tenant compte de la société tel qu'il la connait. Il met en lumières les divergences entre les théories en particulier en ce que sera la société après la révolution : show more quelle sera la place de l'état, quelle sera son rôle face aux individus, quel sera le type de démocratie? Sa lecture des dérives possibles du socialisme d'état semble prémonitoire. Paradoxalement, ces réflexions mises sur papier en 1918 donnent à penser que l'utopisme a encore un bel avenir et qu'il pourrait s'exprimer dans un certain anarcho-syndicalisme.

Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872-1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic. He was best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. Together with G.E. Moore, Russell is generally recognized as one of the main founders of modern analytic philosophy. Together with Kurt Gödel, he is regularly show more credited with being one of the most important logicians of the twentieth century. Over the course of a long career, Russell also made contributions to a broad range of subjects, including the history of ideas, ethics, political and educational theory, and religious studies. General readers have benefited from his many popular writings on a wide variety of topics. After a life marked by controversy--including dismissals from both Trinity College, Cambridge, and City College, New York--Russell was awarded the Order of Merit in 1949 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Noted also for his many spirited anti-nuclear protests and for his campaign against western involvement in the Vietnam War, Russell remained a prominent public figure until his death at the age of 97.
