Synopsis

Sex, morality, and education are explored with practical guidance for readers seeking understanding.

This book presents a historical view of how sex education, personal conduct, and marriage fit into moral expectations. It discusses the roles of parents, schools, and religious authorities in shaping attitudes toward love, responsibility, and self-control.

Readers will encounter discussions on the purposes of sex education, the balance between emotional, mental, and physical aspects, and the impact of social institutions on private life. The text also surveys debates about divorce, eugenics, and the boundaries of personal liberty within moral guidelines.

• Clear statements on how sex education can be approached across different life stages.


• Arguments about keeping love at the center of sexual expression and practice.


• Consideration of how civil law and religious norms intersect in marriage and family life.


• A historical perspective on the factors that influence sexual ethics and behavior.

Ideal for readers of historical ethics, public policy, and discussions of how society has navigated sex, morality, and education.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction ANY honest inquiry into the Primal Instincts of humanity will necessarily lead to a clearer understanding of their nature, their functions, and their potentialities, and so will help to pave the way for the appearance of a healthier and happier race of men. The dictum Learn to know yourself, inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, has never been of more vital importance, both individually and nationally, than it is to-day, and the various schools of modern psychological thought, which are steadily opening up those hitherto scarcely explored regions whence flow the springs of human actions, are gradually clearing away the ignorance which has been the real cause of so much disease and distress. The following chapters are to be welcomed particularly as an effort at the constructional reform of our treatment of one of our deepest and most powerful instincts. Even those who do not necessarily give assent to all the details in the line of argument therein pursued must surely approve the insistence upon the vital necessity of there being love in all sex relationships.
