Overview
"This book brings together a sensitive understanding of love and an unusually careful, even painstaking, analysis of the enormous but often neglected role of morality and the virtues in love. Martin's discussions of such virtues as caring, courage, fidelity, and honesty are superb, the examples well-chosen, the argument personal but nevertheless rigorous, the prose accessible and enjoyable to read. This is certainly one of the most original and insightful books in this rapidly growing field of philosophical exploration."—Robert C.

Martin professor of philosophy at Chapman University, is author or editor of Self-Deception and Morality, Virtuous Giving: Philanthropy, Voluntary Service, and Caring, and Self-Deception and Self-Understanding: New Essays in Philosophy and Psychology.
