Bertrand Russell

Based on Charles Eisenstein's book, The Ascent of Humanity, this seminar from 2007 explores the gathering revolution in human beingness. The human sense of self is changing, and this change will generate a profound transformation in society, culture, technology, and our relationship to the planet. On the personal level, it is a transformation in what it is to be human.

Emanu-El Forum of Ideas, April 11, 1966.


Lecture By Dr. Erich Fromm Part 1

An excerpt from the beginning of "The Conquest of Happiness" by Bertrand Russell. This piece is on the pursuit of sin, and reconciling your values with your actions. My pleasures are not my vices, but the outward world doesn't quite agree.

Bertrand Russell On Boredom

This week we’re bringing you an episode from the archives: Jeff’s conversation with Charles Eisenstein, visionary, activist, and author of the books Sacred Economics, The Ascent of Humanity, and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. 

Charles and Jeff agree on a lot, including that a sacred world is coming, and that humanity is on an ascending path.

We disagree on how we got here. And I think our disagreement captures the difference between even leading edge progressive thinking and and an integral, evolutionary perspective. Did humanity go wrong, and do we have to fix it? Or are we just growing up? Have a listen and see what you think!  

The Sacred World To Come: A Conversation With Charles Eisenstein

The inaugural Reith Lecturer is the philosopher, mathematician, and social reformer Bertrand Russell. One of the founders of analytic philosophy and a Nobel Laureate, he is the author of Principia Mathematica, and the bestselling History of Western Philosophy, written in 1946. His Reith lecture series is entitled 'Authority and the Individual'.

In his third lecture, entitled 'The Role of Individuality', he considers the importance of individual initiative to a community, and argues for flexibility, local autonomy, and less centralisation in society. Modern organisations, he says, must be more flexible and less oppressive to the human spirit if life is to be saved from boredom.
