In The Bomb and Civilisation, renowned philosopher and Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell confronts the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons in the aftermath of World War II. Written with clarity and moral urgency, this short but powerful work reflects Russell's deep concern over the future of humanity in an age where science has outpaced ethical responsibility. Russell explores how the advent of the atomic bomb has transformed warfare, diplomacy, and the very fabric of modern civilisation. He warns that unless nations abandon the pursuit of military dominance and embrace international cooperation, the world risks annihilation. Far more than a political essay, this is a philosophical call to action, urging readers to rethink power, peace, and the path forward for humanity. The Bomb and Civilisation is a sobering and eloquent meditation on science, ethics, and survival—from one of the 20th century's most courageous voices for peace.
