Note

This Liberal Decalogue first appeared at the end of the article "The best answer to fanaticism: Liberalism" in the New York Times Magazine (16/December/1951). It was then included in The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, Vol. 3, 1944-1967.

It shows the usual sharp mind and tongue of Bertrand Russell, never more at ease as when presenting his unconventional ideas.
