Product Description
Eric Robert Morse, author of the philosophical and political works 'Amazement' and 'Justice and Equality', turns his focus to something that has baffled man since the beginning of time: love. Inspiring thinkers, poets, and mystics alike, love can well be considered the dearest subject of all literature. In this long essay, Morse adds to the host with an elegant proof of what is perhaps the most logical and practical conception since Plato's, finding truths about love where least expected.

When a person gets kissed for the first time... June 19, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
"When a person gets kissed for the first time, they fall down and they don't get up for at least an hour." That is one of the filarious quotes by children that spot this excellent small book. The quotes offer a humorous take and some cominc relief for one of the the most deep and enigmatic topics of all time: love. I received this book for a gift on my anniversary and it was perhaps the best gift I was ever given (dare I say it was more meaningful than my diamond earrings?). In any case, It is an extremely valuable written piece for anyone in a relationship or having trouble with relationships. It hits on a lot of the same ideas that you've had in your head already and then brings up some great points that you've never thought of. Buy it for your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend!
The modern pamphlet par excellence March 12, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the kind of essay that changes a culture forever. That is, at least, the author's intent. `Love Is Justice' is a gripping account of a single, compelling idea, one that has the kind of force present in Luther's '95 Theses,' Paine's `Common Sense,' and Mill's `On Liberty.' Morse's idea can be simplified as follows:
All men want to do what is right. We get the sense of righteousness when we fit in--when we are justified. Love is the emotional result of this and it is directed to those who provide our justification.
The easiest and therefore most common way of securing this justification is by satisfying our physical instincts. They are immediate and powerful and tell us assuredly that what we are doing is right. But the physical is deceiving, fleeting, and discriminative. When one concentrates solely on it, he neglects and counters his higher, more important purposes.
The solution is to continue satisfying the physical with higher aims in mind, seeking in our activities honesty, longevity, and inclusiveness. This is, in effect, to reinstate responsibility in our actions, an aspect that has been stricken from our increasingly uninhibited culture.
A look around our society reveals how relevant this thesis is. Simply, modern relationships are troubled, and since pretty much everything in life is based on our relationships, life in general is troubled. Few can deny this unfortunate claim. Morse has acknowledged it and, with energy like that of the greatest movements in history, he has laid down a revolutionary vision, which is bound to strengthen and make right the core of human existence.
A beautiful explanation of the complexities of Love February 27, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
In this essay, Morse delves into the complex nature of Love, explaining why it can be the most challenging and most rewarding aspect of our lives, as well as why our search for Love often fails. The author's examples clearly illustrate several kinds of Love and provide a means for finding that which we're all searching for: true Love. The result is a finely crafted piece that presents the essence of Love in a logical, accessible manner, perfectly capturing a beautiful concept and the ideas that support it. Whether you're in a relationship or not, this essay will provide you with a deeper understanding of Love, how to attain it, and how to make it last.
