Marriage and Morals. Illustrated

About this book

In Marriage and Morals, Bertrand Russell challenges conventional attitudes toward love, marriage, and sexuality, offering a bold and progressive critique of traditional moral values. First published in 1929, this groundbreaking work examines the evolving nature of human relationships, questioning outdated norms and advocating for a more rational and ethical approach to marriage and personal freedom.Russell explores the historical and cultural influences that have shaped ideas about marriage, fidelity, and sexual morality. He critiques the rigid constraints imposed by religious and social institutions, arguing that many traditional views on relationships are based on dogma rather than reason or human well-being. Instead, he promotes a more open and flexible perspective, emphasizing the importance of emotional and intellectual compatibility, personal autonomy, and mutual respect between partners.A central theme of the book is Russell's belief that morality should be based on human happiness rather than arbitrary social rules. He discusses topics such as divorce, birth control, and the role of women in society, advocating for greater equality and personal choice in matters of love and family life. His views, considered radical at the time, laid the foundation for modern discussions on sexual ethics, gender roles, and personal relationships.Marriage and Morals remains a thought-provoking and relevant work, offering timeless insights into the complexities of love and marriage. Essential reading for those interested in philosophy, sociology, and human relationships, it continues to inspire debates on the intersection of morality, freedom, and societal change.
