Russell's The Problems of Philosophy, first published in 1912, is both a primer for the philosophy-curious and the practicing philosopher.

There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data.

The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, first published in 1920, is Bertrand Russell's critique of the Communist system he witnessed in the Soviet Union. As a proponent of collectivist ideals, Russell believed that the future happiness of humanity depended upon different ways of production and business. He observed that the Bolsheviks pursued their goals with brutality rather than with an idealistic hope which nurtured the individual. Russell concluded that Bolshevism saw itself as a religion, with practices and dogmatic beliefs that did not permit independent thinking.

Anyone familiar with Russell's works will find a common theme running through the material: Despite being published over a century ago, his thoughts and philosophy remain remarkably a propos today. Russell argues AGAINST the possessive impulse that global capitalism stimulates in humans and which only benefits the possessor, and FOR the creative impulse, which benefits not only the creator but humankind as a whole. He also supports the establishment of an international parliament to address nation-to-nation conflicts—a palatable alternative to war.
