Learning To Love: Philosophy And Moral Progress, Phil Smith Dec 1991

Learning To Love: Philosophy And Moral Progress, Phil Smith

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Love is a crucially important notion in morals. Moral philosophy, then, should give attention to this notion, and some of that attention should be concerned with how people might develop or improve as lovers.
