More about the book

Man knows that there is such a thing as love, but does not know what love is. He knows that there is such a thing as love from common conversation " as when it is said that such a person loves' me, a king loves his subjects and the subjects love the king, a husband loves his wife, and a mother her children, and conversely; also such and such a person loves his country, his fellow citizens, his neighbor; and likewise of things abstracted from person,that a person loves this or that.
