Bertrand Russell was deeply convinced that gentle attachment and natural attraction to each other men and women did not fit into the Procrustean bed of traditional morality. According to his doctrine, nothing can justify the union of a man and a woman, if their feelings have cooled for a long time, and former love was replaced by disappointment, contempt and indifference. The result of his thoughts about love, sexual relations and raising children was the famous work “Marriage and Moral”, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
