 In the latter, and more preachy, part of his career, it was Russell’s dominant view that judgments about what things are good or bad as ends do not have a truth-value. To say that it is a good thing “that the individual, like Leibniz’s monads should mirror the world” (Education and the Social Order: 10) is to say something like “Would that everyone desired that the individual, like one of Leibniz’s monads, should mirror the world!” Since this is neither true nor false, it cannot be rationally argued for. The best we can do is to remove objections and present the end in a favorable light. Russell was perfectly clear about this.
