{"product_id":"2940013400719","title":"The Morality of Woman and Other Essays: A Classic By Ellen Key!","description":"Excerpt:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe simplest formula for the new conception of morality, which is beginning to be opposed to moral dogma still esteemed by all society, but especially by women, might be summed up in these words:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.\u003cbr\u003eThe customary objection to this tenet is that those who propose it forget all other ethical duties and legitimate feelings in order to make the sex relationship the center of existence, and love the sole decisive point of view in questions concerning this relationship. But if we except the struggle for existence--which indeed must be called not a relationship of life but a condition of life--what then can be more central for man, than a condition decreed by the laws of earthly life--the cause of his own origin? Can one imagine a moment which penetrates more deeply his whole being?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat many men live content without the happiness of love, that others after they attain it seek a new end for their activity, proves nothing against the truth of the experience that for men in general the erotic relation between man and woman becomes the deepest life determining factor, whether negatively, because they are deprived of this relation or because they formed it unhappily; or positively, because they have found therein the fullness of life.","brand":"BDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069905977584,"sku":"2940013400719","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013400719_p0.jpg?v=1763580910","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013400719","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
