Das Werk "Die Evolution der Liebe" ist ein kraftvolles Manifest, das sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, die primären Ausprägungen der Liebe zu ergründen und jene seltsamen emotionalen Höhepunkte zu erhellen, die der Autor als "Metaphysische Erotik" bezeichnet. Er verbindet psychologische und zivilisatorische Motive und greift auf historische Fakten zurück, um aufzuzeigen, dass die von der Psychologie beschriebenen notwendigen Entwicklungsphasen der Liebe tatsächlich in der Geschichte existierten und ganze Zivilisationsperioden prägten. Der Autor behauptet, dass Liebe unabhängig von Sexualität entstanden ist, was heutzutage als umstritten gilt. Obwohl die Fakten, auf die der Autor seine Argumente stützt, bekannt sind, sind seine Schlussfolgerungen neu und es steht nicht ihm zu, zu entscheiden, ob sie richtig oder falsch sind. Das Buch ist eine Monographie über das Gefühlsleben der Menschen und wird sicherlich auf Widerstand stoßen, da es sich von der heutigen Auffassung der Liebe unterscheidet.

"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 SchleussnerIn 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.
