El poder

What is the key to understanding human nature? For Bertrand Russell the resounding answer is power. Power is not only the ultimate goal of our actions, but also contributes the most decisive element for the development of our societies. In the late 1930s, when totalitarianism was spreading across Europe and the world was on the brink of a devastating war, a convinced Russell proposed rational and intelligent alternatives to assert authority without resorting to violent extremism. The result is this penetrating work in which he analyzes the essence of power and proposes solutions so that the natural desire for understanding among men reaches its optimal expression.
