Summary "Physique de l'Amour: Essai sur l'instinct sexuel" by Remy de Gourmont is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores the psychology of love and sexual instinct, aiming to situate human sexuality within a broader understanding of universal reproduction in nature. Gourmont examines the connections between human and animal behavior, challenging traditional views of love with a thorough analysis grounded in biological and psychological principles. At the start of the text, the author lays the foundation for his exploration by discussing the general psychology of love and the natural laws governing sexuality. He critiques earlier moralistic perspectives on love that failed to integrate scientific findings. By linking human sexuality to the instincts observed in the animal kingdom, he argues that love, often seen as a complex human experience, is fundamentally rooted in basic biological imperatives. Gourmont suggests that elements of human behavior can be mirrored in various species, emphasizing that the instinctual drive to reproduce is universal, bridging the gaps between humans and other animals.
