The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

Why have the great revolutionary leaders of modern times from Robespierre to Lenin and Mao Tse-tung‘so often been ascetics austere puritans with few emotional ties? What functions political as well as personal do these ascetic traits perform for the modern revolutionary leader and for his followers?Noted historian and author Bruce Mazlish is convinced that beginning in the nineteenth century the needs of modernizing revolutions have produced a distinct new type of political leader the revolutionary ascetic. This individual's denial of personal pleasures and commitments both enables him to perform politically necessary if personally repulsive revolutionary acts and to command the allegiance of his more worldly followers. Starting with Cromwell and the religious ascetics of the Puritan Revolution Mazlish shows in a series of fascinating personality sketches how this asceticism first became secularized with the French Revolution and then in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was put to the service of a new kind of total modernizing revolution in Russia China and elsewhere. In two remarkably vivid portraits of Lenin and Mao Tse-tung Mazlish shows us precisely how two of the century's best-known revolutionaries consciously and unconsciously used their personal asceticism to induce revolutionary change. | The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

The Problem of China

The Problem of China

'China by her resources and her population is capable of being the greatest power in the world after the United States. ' Bertrand Russell The Problem of China In 1920 the philosopher Bertrand Russell spent a year in China as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing (then Peking) where his lectures on mathematical logic enthralled students and listeners including Mao Tse Tung who attended some of Russell’s talks. Written at a time when China was largely regarded by the West as backward and weak The Problem of China sees Russell rise above the prejudices of his era and presciently assess China's past present and future. Russell brings his analytical and insightful eye to bear on some fundamental aspects of China’s history and politics cautioning China against adopting a purely Western model of social and economic development which he regarded as characterized by a combination of greed and militarism. Beginning with an overview of nineteenth-century Chinese history and considering China's relations with Japan and Russia Russell then contrasts Chinese civilization with Western. He devotes a fascinating chapter to the character of the Chinese which he argues is complex but ultimately defined by a ‘pacific temper’. With uncanny foresight Russell predicts China’s resurgence but only if it is able to establish an orderly government promote industrial development under Chinese control and foster the spread of education. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new introduction by Bernard Linsky.
