This first edition of Bertrand Russell's lecture, delivered at the National Book League in 1946, encompasses the influence of Western philosophy on political action. With characteristic wit and clarity, Russell examines the dialectical confusion that culminates in totalitarian dogma, establishing the 'liberal empiricism' upon which western democracy is founded.

First edition, first issue; 8vo (19 x 13 cm); blindstamp to title-page, some light spotting throughout; publisher's navy-blue cloth, upper cover lettered in gilt, lower corners gently bumped, in the unclipped typographic dustjacket, slightly foxed, very good; 29pp.
