SOCIETY IN ETHICS AND POLITICS

S
everal of Russell's books were published without an index. In the
case of Human Society in Ethics and Politics (1954), this lack is
especially unhelpful. To those who haven't read it, the book
appears to be a treatise on metaethics and current politics. It is, but it
is studded with cultural, historical and personal references-not unlike
Power in that regard. The index will assist in opening up the book's
contents, as well as by reminding readers where they saw discussions
of the individuals concerned. This is the second in a series of readersupplied indexes that began in Russel~ no. 8 (1972). Indexes to the rest
of Russell's unindexed books are welcome (anyone for Principia?).
In limiting the index to personal names (of historical, fictional or
mythical individuals), groups of people are excluded. "God" also is
excluded, since that is a subject. Incidentally, Russell says in the book
that he has "no 'ideas of deity or of the supernatural'" (p. 94 77 77).
Square-bracketed names are inferred from descriptions in the text.
In the index, the first page references are to the first British edition
(London: George Allen and Unwin Ltd., 1954; 239 pp.). In bold type
are the equivalent pages in the first American edition (New York:
Simon and Schuster, 1955; xxi, 227 pp.). The last set of page numbers
belongs to the American paperback edition (New York: Mentor
Books/New American Library of World Literature, 1962; 200 pp.).
