"I challenge you to find a less sentimental or romantic account of
love than this witty and insightful essay by the controversial
social systems theorist. It follows the evolution of the concept of
love from its Greek roots through to its function as a way of
giving meaning to individual experiences and of explaining and
justifying the weirdest of behaviours in modern society."
Michael King for Times Higher Education

"The textual basis of an early seminar Luhmann held at
Bielefeld, this book is essential reading for social and cultural
scientists, theorists, and historians concerned about the semantics
of love as an institutionalized medium of communication entrusted
with regulating intimate relations in modern society."
Stephan Fuchs, University of Virginia
