Few concepts are more central to ethics than love, but none is more subject to varying interpretation. This 1999 book explores several theological, philosophical and literary accounts of love. Throughout, Timothy Jackson defends the moral priority of a distinctive type of love ('agape'), and argues for a realistic ethic of love.
