Abstract

"The Free Man's Worship" is one of the two essential articles that precede the philosophical writings by Russell, or his philosophy. Written in difficult moments of his life, its content aims to find a new way of libing, a new ethics, that may confront pain death, the past, and the irational forces of the universe. Russell establishes this way of living, accepting -as a limit of his thinking- the world view that science presents at that moment; and, consideringthe "document" that cruel and tragic Western history has left there, product of thekind of slave-man thet has given the moral and metaphysics of Christianity and philosophical idealism, making them non-viable. In short, the question is that man should reach redom of aspirations and thinking that escape from the blind advance of the universe: and confrontdeath with the results of a "creative idealism", indestructible to it. The way to attain it has its beginnig in the experience of the beauty of the tragedy of human life; and it is crossed renouncing to personal desires (freedom), and the practice of the possible good and human creation (wisdom), a support in friendship and the assimilation of the good (which is eternal) of the past.
