"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."
Bertrand Russell is the only agnostic of all the modern philosophers discussed. He rejects “God’s Law”, as well as claiming that people have no souls. Russell is doubtful of both the body and the soul, and reasons that the body and soul are both convenient symbols of discourse and not actual existing things.

“God’s Law” varies from time to time, depending on the situation, and so it is nearly impossible to do something that avoids disobeying the Law. Hence, Russell feels that men should think out questions of conduct for himself, along with seeking the wisdom of those he considers wise.

Russell rationally realized that people do not sin because of the negative after-effects that come with sinning. For example, factors preventing people from committing a felony are as follows: the law, loneliness of descrimination if the person is found out, and the dread of guilt in harming another.

“Beauty, in any case, is subjective and only exists in the eye of the beholder.”
