Bertrand Russell: Children
built 614 days ago
When it came to dealing with his own children... Mr. Russell was quite concerned with the difference between right and wrong. His daughter, Katharine Tait, wrote that he taught his family that they ought to live unselfishly so as to make others happy, etc. Yet, all the while, he theoretically argued that there was “no rational ground for this view.” She said his arguments convinced neither her nor himself! (1975, 182,185).

Russell's parents were quite radical for their times—Russell's father, Viscount Amberley, was an atheist and consented to his wife's affair with their children's tutor, the biologist Douglas Spalding. Both were early advocates of birth control at a time when this was considered scandalous.[7]

In eighth grade, with his Hindu temple, Girish began volunteering at the Russell Home for Atypical Children in Orlando. There, he realized that many residents do not know how to sign their names. So he took it upon himself to teach them this skill.
