Ideas That Helped Mankind
'Ideas that have helped Mankind' has been written by Bertrand Arthur William Russel. He was a prolific writer and also a commentator. In his essay he has talked about the ideas and inventions that helped mankind increase his intellectual and moral qualities and make his life civilized, secure and more comfortable. Man was able to increase his population because of his intelligence. The invention of fire the domestication of animals, the development of language, the art of writing and printing made us rise from our wild state to our present civilized state. They made us superior to animals. He, however, says that our task is not yet ever or complete. We have to get victory over fear, worry and starvation. We have to cultivate peace and brotherhood in the world, we have to become free from hatred and jealousy. Only then, we can be called fully civilized.
