Review:
A lovely book, written with grace and love for his subject. . . . White presents a balanced and powerful account of love that incorporates strong emotional connectedness with a moral responsiveness to the needs of the other. White stresses the deep bond between love and self-fulfillment and sees clearly the ways in which this overcomes the false dichotomy between selfishness and altruism. He traces his theme of self-fulfillment through four forms of love--friendship, romantic love, parental love, and love of humanity--and does an excellent job of integrating the contemporary discussion of these issues with his position.--Lawrence M. Hinman, director, The Values Institute
This work is of value for its historical perspective, its analysis of the four kinds of love, and for its attention to the future of love. Recommended for anyone--general readers and lower-division undergraduates to researchers--interested in love, emotions in general, or theories of emotion.--CHOICE
