| UK: £34.99 US: $69.99 | Poets, theologians, romantics, scientists, and revolutionaries alike have explored the many facets of love. Judging by the wide use of the word “love” and the high praise it typically receives, we might think that philosophers have thoroughly analyzed love. But this is not the case. This book takes a step toward rectifying the neglect of a philosophical analysis of love. It brings together fifteen philosophical perspectives that explore some of love’s most important facets. Most of the essays have theistic or religious concerns in mind. Thomas Jay Oord, Ph.D., is professor of theology and philosophy at Northwest Nazarene University, Nampa, Idaho. Oord is the author and editor of many books, including Science of Love: The Wisdom of Well-Being and The Altruism Reader. Oord serves as theologian for the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, located at Case-Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio
