Love: A New Understanding of an Ancient Emotion

  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Simon May develops a radically new understanding of love as the emotion we feel towards those we experience as grounding our life--as offering us a promise of home--in a world that we supremely value. He also proposes that the child is supplanting the romantic partner as the supreme object of love.
