The topics of love and affection have received an enormous amount
of popular commentary - much of it clearly wrong. Although they are
an overwhelmingly important part of most people's lives, they have,
however, had little serious and systematic attention. This book is
concerned with four basic and neglected problems concerning love.
The first is identifying its relevant features - distinguishing it
from liking, and benevolence, and from sexual desire; describing
the objects that can be loved and the judgements and aims required
by love. The second question is how we recognize the presence of
love and what grounds we may have for thinking it present in any
particular case. The third is that of relating it to other emotions
such as anger and fear, and, more generally, deciding where love
stands in the contrast between emotions and attitudes. Finally, the
book examines how we justify our loves - can we have, and do we
need, reasons for loving? What types of judgement are appropriate
to love? Can we criticize a lover for his or her choices?
