The fireworks fly when the great Bertrand Russell writes about a subject as provocative as marriage & morals. But they are a rational & devastatingly logical kind of fireworks...for that was the nature of the man. Russell's approach to sex & love is based on the realities of need & desire, rather than on ancient tribal & religious taboos. Marriage & Morals is a clear, unbiased look at morality, a morality that is simply one aspect of Russell's lifelong opposition to restrictive dogma & an affirmation of his unshakeable faith in the adequacy of man & the power of human intellect.
"Sufficient dynamite to blast a carload of ordinary sex popularizers from the face of the earth...deals most competently & completely with practically every ramification of sex & sex life & occurs in modern sociology & psychology."--New York Post
"Fundamental & clear, unbiased & persuasive. Russell writes as a humanist, defending the happiness of man against many moral prejudices, advocates his changes lucidly & wittily."--Time
