Philosophy And Matrimony: Or The Two Shown To Be Incompatible

By James Dewar

Book Overview

""Philosophy And Matrimony: Or The Two Shown To Be Incompatible"" is a book written by James Dewar in 1828. The book explores the idea that philosophy and marriage are incompatible, arguing that the pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of a happy marriage are fundamentally at odds with one another. Dewar draws on a range of philosophical and literary sources to support his argument, including works by Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, and Milton. He also provides examples from his own life and the lives of others to illustrate the difficulties that arise when one tries to balance the demands of a philosophical life with the demands of a committed relationship. Overall, ""Philosophy And Matrimony"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the tensions between intellectual pursuits and the practical realities of human relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
