Theory and Regulation of Love

Theory and Regulation of Love: A Moral Essay by John Norris is a philosophical exploration of the concept of love and its regulation in society. The book delves into the different theories of love, including Platonic, Aristotelian, and Christian views, and analyzes how these theories have influenced the regulation of love throughout history. Norris argues that love is a fundamental human emotion that has been subject to regulation by various social institutions, such as religion, law, and morality. He examines the ways in which these institutions have attempted to regulate love, and the impact of these regulations on individuals and society as a whole. Throughout the book, Norris also explores the ethical implications of regulating love, questioning whether it is justifiable to impose rules and restrictions on such a personal and intimate emotion. He considers the role of consent in love and the potential for coercion and abuse when love is regulated by external forces. Overall, Theory and Regulation of Love is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the most complex and universal human experiences. It offers a unique perspective on the history and ethics of love regulation, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or social justice.1688.
