Personal Relationships: Love, Identity, and Morality

This book is a lively philosophical introduction to, and exploration of, the nature and value of personal relationships. LaFollette argues that a careful examination of friendship, love and kinship illuminates philosophical discussions of the self, the emotions, and reason.

Hugh Lafollette is Professor of Philosophy at East Tennessee State University. His publications include Whose Child? (1981), Person to Person (1989) and he is co-editor of World Hunger and Moral Obligation (1977).
