Writing with characteristic wit and scepticism, Russell interrogates the historical forces that have shaped our current social codes, from the origins of patriarchal systems and religious asceticism to the impact of the industrial revolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRussell challenges conventional morality by advocating for a modernised approach that balances individual fulfilment with societal requirements. By considering the liberation of women, the rise of contraceptives, and the complexities of human psychology, he presents a compelling argument for a rational system of ethics that is less distorting to human personality. Whether one is interested in the sociology of marriage, the history of domestic life, or the intersection of sex and state policy, this work remains a provocative touchstone for anyone seeking to clarify their own understanding of private life and public virtue. This seminal text invites the reader to reconsider the foundations of the institutions that define our lives today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images, some yellowing and some cover markings)\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN 0041730011","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46377279291542,"sku":"tingira27_640R4JFL13WQ","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/4092_86ce80f5-da82-47c2-93d6-b4275d52d73b.jpg?v=1778217842","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/marriage-and-morals-by-bertrand-russell","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
