add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Notes by the Way," by Margaret Marshall. In the book scholar Bertrand Russell poses the largest problem of the contemporary period, that is the manner in which one can combine that degree of individual initiative which is necessary for progress with the degree of social cohesion that is necessary for survival. The book is made up of six lectures, composing the Reith Lectures for 1948. This is an annual series broadcast by the BBC. Each year an acknowledged authority in a particular field is asked to undertake some study or original research on a given subject and to give listeners the results in a series of talks.
