Radical Love - Discovering Fire

by Eugene Fitzgerald

Polls reveal that most Americans believe that we face a grave moral crisis born in a climate of hatred and abandonment of rooted values. In an engaging style, Professor Fitzgerald attributes this doleful condition to an ignorance of what love is , what it should be, and what it can be. Accordingly, his book explores the meaning, the ethic, and the art of love. Along with his emphasis on cultivating creative relationships, two other major themes run through Radical Love - Discovering Fire - the development of the androgynous person, and the realistic significance of the role of death in its many modes. Fitzgerald does not view death as a morbid experience, as commonly thought, but rather as essential thread woven into the fabric of all love. Radical Love - Discovering Fire anticipates many of the questions sensitive and inquiring persons have about love and sex. Readers will find this book to be an excellent reference work, one that will be consulted time and again. This work features an extensive and detailed table of contents which, along with an easily consulted bibliography, follows the sequence of the chapters and units within.
