The Sexual Revolution
Calverton, V. F. | December 4, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Marriage and Morals," by Bertrand Russell. This book is unique, not so much in what it says as in the way it says it. Other writers to this same field have advocated many of the arguments advanced by Russell, but they have never been defended in such a clear, considered, logical manner. Russell undermines an entire morality as one might divest him of an old rube taking out the right arm first, then the left, and finally letting the whole thing fall easily to the earth.
