This book explores the ethical and psychological dilemmas connected
to the lived experiences of love, uniquely proposing an ethical
framework that can be applied in loving relationships. The book
provides an introduction to the study of ethics, moral psychology,
and ancient philosophy. Examining key themes of love, such as
unconditional love, romantic love, anger, desperation, and
fairness, this book offers the reader a way to exercise and
strengthen their personal critical thinking on ethical dilemmas,
especially in relation to loving feelings. The author believes that
ethics is the heart of love in the same way as logic is the brain
of reasoning; we do not need ethics to love but we can love in a
much healthier way if we train our ethical skills to love. After
laying the theoretical framework for the book, chapters are
organized into themes relating to ethical problems and begin with
an exemplary piece from Greek and Latin literature. Using these
writings as a starting point, Susi Ferrarello discusses whether it
is possible to have a sound ethical theory of love, especially in
cases relating to justice, despair, and rage, and demonstrates how
this framework can be applied in new and established relationships.
Filled with case studies throughout, spiritual exercises are listed
at the end of chapters to help the reader increase their
understanding of love and their ethical choices surrounding
emotional dilemmas. This interdisciplinary book is essential
reading for undergraduate and graduate students who take classes on
ethics, marriage and family therapy, psychology, philosophy,
classics, ancient philosophy, and politics, as well as those
interested in the ethics of love and emotional decision-making.
