Philosophy And Matrimony - James Dewar - Bog

""Philosophy and Matrimony: Or The Two Shown To Be Incompatible"" is a book written by James Dewar in 1828. The book discusses the idea that philosophy and marriage are incompatible. Dewar argues that philosophy, which involves the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, requires a level of solitude and introspection that is difficult to achieve in the context of married life. He suggests that marriage, on the other hand, demands a certain level of compromise and sacrifice that is antithetical to the pursuit of philosophical truth. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between philosophy and marriage. Dewar draws on a range of philosophical and literary sources to support his argument, including the works of Plato, Aristotle, and Rousseau. He also discusses the experiences of various historical and contemporary figures who have struggled to reconcile their philosophical pursuits with their married lives.Overall, ""Philosophy and Matrimony: Or The Two Shown To Be Incompatible"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the tension between the pursuit of knowledge and the demands of domestic life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the complexities 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.
