Description
Marriage and Morals explores how our individual, familial, and societal attitudes towards sex and marriage have evolved over time. By examining the codes that govern our sexual lives and conventional morality, Bertrand Russell sets out a new approach to morality, shaped by significant changes in society such as the emancipation of women and the widespread use of contraceptives.
From the origins of marriage to its influence on religion, Russell examines the changing role of marriage and codes of sexual ethics. This thought-provoking work offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between sex, morality, and society.
