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.
The three vitally important points which the author develops are as
follows:--
Love is not a primary instinct, but has been gradually evolved in
historical time.
Ernst Haeckel's biogenetic law is expanded in a psychogenetic law.
Only man's emotions have undergone evolution, and therefore have a
history, while those of woman have experienced no change.
Lucka's book will probably not please the advanced feminists, but the
delicate, although perhaps involuntary homage to her sex which is
implied in his theories ought to rouse a feeling of gratification in the
heart of every right-feeling woman. The very limitations and
restrictions which he lays upon her raise and glorify her.
