Love comes in many forms and touches all our lives, and despite its changing history, it remains constant in human experience. Love's Philosophy explores the basic expressions of love. In this book, White looks at friendship, romance, parenthood, and humanitarian love in classical and contemporary perspective. He argues that the philosophical oblivion of love has been a mistake. By examining both the historical and contemporary formations of love, he proposes alternative models to guide both our thinking and our experience of loving.

"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
