Reason and Rule by Bertrand Russell is a powerful combined edition of two of his most seminal works: Political Ideals and The Analysis of Mind. This dual-volume provides a comprehensive examination of both political structures and psychological foundations of human thought.In Political Ideals, Russell critiques capitalism, socialism, nationalism, and public control while offering a visionary framework for liberty and cooperative internationalism. His reflections on wage systems and governance remain strikingly relevant today.The second part of the book, The Analysis of Mind, explores the philosophical and psychological mechanisms of perception, learning, memory, and thought. Divided into three parts — Man from Without, The Physical World, and Man from Within — this section applies scientific rigor to questions about the human mind and consciousness.This A5 paperback edition is essential for readers seeking to understand the crossroads of political philosophy and cognitive science. Ideal for academic use, debates, or personal enrichment, this book reflects Russell’s commitment to clarity, rationalism, and human freedom.
