"Love is a theme which at all times and in all countries has been
of primary interest to men and women, and therefore this book,
which throws an illuminating ray of light in many a dark place
still wrapped in mystery and silence, not only impresses the
psychologist, but also fascinates the general reader with its
wealth of interesting detail and charm of expression."-Ellie
Schleussner In The Evolution of Love (1922) the Austrian
Poet-Philosopher Emil Lucka reveals his conception of the
development of love and sex. In his revolutionary presentation of
ideas, the author blends history, psychology, and philosophy to
speculate that love is not a fundamental predisposition, but
evolved through historical changes. There are three distinct stages
of the development of love that Lucka explores in this important
work; Metaphysical Eroticism, the first, is the exploration of
emotional climaxes and the sexual instinct. Moving from prehistoric
man through the ideals of Greek love, and to the spread of
Christianity, he lays his foundation through the lens of history.
The second stage is Love, which he again demonstrates its
development through history, specifically the birth of European
civilization. The third stage is the unity of sexual impulse and
love, the evolution of the spiritual love of man for woman based on
personality. Finally, Lucka delves into erotic aberrations,
exploring perversities of sex and love through the progress of
history. In Lucka's conclusion, he looks at the realm of the spirit
in the context of Ernst Heackel's biogenetic law. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of The Evolution of Love is both modern and readable.
