Love and Society (eBook, ePUB)

Special Social Forms and the Master Emotion

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Love and Society discusses the meaning and importance of love for contemporary society. Love is not only an emotion that occurs in our intimate relationships; it is a special emotion that allows us to relate to each other in a lasting fashion, to create out of our individual pasts a shared past, which enables us to project a shared future. With rich empirical data, an analysis of love's transformation in modernity, and a critical engagement with classical and contemporary theorists, this book provides a lively discussion on the meaning and importance of love for today's society.
