Product Description

Love comes in many forms and touches all our lives. Despite its changing history, it remains constant in human experience. This book explores the basic expressions of love - friendship, romance, parenthood and humanitarian love - in classical and contemporary perspectives. It posits the argument that the philosophical oblivion of love has been a mistake. By examining both the historical and contemporary formations of love, the author proposes alternative models to guide both our thinking and our experience of loving.
