Page "Christian von Ehrenfels" Paragraph 10

Ehrenfels argued in numerous culture-scientifical and sexual-political writings against the cultural harmfulness of monogamy and for the utopia of a polygynian social order.

He defended the opinion that monogamy would hinder a darwinistic reproduction-logic and procreation-selection, what would have a devastating effect on society in a cultural-biological way and therefore monogamy should be combated.

With those theories, Ehrenfels exposed himself to a massive criticism, because he offered with his theories unimaginable thoughts to contemporian conventions.
