Love's Philosophy
Love comes in many forms. From friendship to parenthood, from the lover to the altruist, it touches all our lives. As time passes by this remains constant in the human experience. Love's Philosophy explores the basic expressions of love. In this book, White takes into account classical and historical perspecitives. His reflections explain the historical and contemporary formations of love, and offer alternative models to that most encompassing sensation, love.

Praise for this book
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.
A lovely book, written with grace and love for his subject. . . . White presents a balanced and powerful account of love that incorporates strong emotional connectedness with a moral responsiveness to the needs of the other. White stresses the deep bond between love and self-fulfillment and sees clearly the ways in which this overcomes the false dichotomy between selfishness and altruism. He traces his theme of self-fulfillment through four forms of love-friendship, romantic love, parental love, and love of humanity-and does an excellent job of integrating the contemporary discussion of these issues with his position.
