Translated by Ezra Pound

The Natural Philosophy of Love is a philosophical essay by French author Remy de Gourmont, written in the early 20th century. It examines love from a naturalistic and psychological perspective, exploring its biological foundations and implications in both animal behavior and human relationships. Gourmont critiques traditional moralistic views, arguing that love is an instinctual force rooted in sexual selection and reproduction, thereby situating human emotions within the broader evolutionary context. This work is notable for its blend of philosophical inquiry and biological examination, addressing themes such as gender roles and the societal implications of love.
