First published in 1998, this volume aims to draw attention to an
ongoing shift in the perception of law, which is now increasingly
understood as a cultural and historical phenomenon. As other such
phenomena - like music, literature, or art - it is acknowledged
that it is created in a specific environment, on which it is
dependent for its functioning and interpretation. The historical
aspects of love in a European and Nordic context are underlined, as
well as the modern understanding of love and law as incompatible
and contrasting concepts. Developments within the European Union
and especially the relation of the EU to so called third country
nationals and immigrants demonstrate that the problematic
concerning law and love is not only one of legal philosophy but
also of legal and everyday reality. The claim that love has been
specifically 'European' is discarded as Eurocentrist, and the need
for more particular emotions and a more pragmatic approach to
romantic feelings, for a 'reasonable love' is discussed from legal,
feminist and philosophical perspectives.
