The evolution of marriage

The evolution of marriage

KERA's Think

Marriage is as old as recorded history, but philosophers and other intellectuals have been mostly quiet on the subject. Devorah Baum is a writer, film director and associate professor in English literature at the University of Southampton. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why marriage is left out of philosophical discussion and what the institution actually means for power dynamics and utopian ideals. Her book is “On Marriage.”
