Summary "Love and Marriage" by Ellen Key is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores the intricacies of love, marriage, and sexual morality, critiquing traditional views and contemplating the evolution of these concepts within society. Key engages deeply with the moral implications of marriage and redefines it through the lens of individual love, societal needs, and evolving norms. At the start of the text, the author discusses the transformation of sexual morality in contemporary society, emphasizing the disconnect between outdated views of marriage and the realities of human emotional and sexual needs. Key critiques existing societal structures that uphold marriage primarily as a means of social continuity rather than recognizing love as the essential foundation of any partnership. She addresses the complexities of love and marriage, arguing that true personal love must be at the center of relationships, advocating for reform to ensure that love serves both individual fulfillment and the broader interests of society. The opening sets the stage for a broader examination of the evolution of love, monogamy, and societal values related to marriage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
