Description
This book argues that love is a practice through we make sense of fundamental questions-from the propagation of life, to the inevitability of death. Acts of love not only reflect current social values but instead make new social realities, such as feminism or same-sex marriage, come into being and thus help us to explain immense historical shifts.
