In this important book Niklas Luhmann - one of the leading social
thinkers of the late 20th century - analyses the emergence of love'
as the basis of personal relationships in modern societies. He
argues that, while family systems remained intact in the transition
from traditional to modern societies, a semantics for love
developed to accommodate extra-marital relationships; this
semantics was then transferred back into marriage and eventually
transformed marriage itself. Drawing on a diverse range of
historical and literary sources, Luhmann retraces the emergence and
evolution of the special semantics of passionate love that has come
to form the basis of modern forms of intimacy and personal
relationships. This classic book by Luhmann has been widely
recognized as a work of major importance. It is an outstanding
contribution to social theory and it provides an original and
illuminating perspective on the nature of modern marriage and
sexuality.
