To Be Frank: The Personal Philosophy of Bertrand Russell's Brother

Conference paper delivered to the Bertrand Russell Society Annual Meeting 2021

"... it is not my experience that happiness depends upon possessions, or success, or eminence, but upon the contented mind, willing to enjoy temperately all the good things of the world, keeping in tune with nature and being grateful for the sun, the air, the mountains, while breathing that spirit of freedom and fidelity to one's ideals which alone can give satisfaction to the soul and avoid regrets" (Frank Russell, My Life and Adventures, p.348).

​

"... a little experience, a little reflection, and a little candour..." (George Santayana).
