«The Four Loves» is C.S. Lewis's essay on the four forms of human love, published by Harcourt Brace International in paperback (156 pages, in English).
C.S. Lewis examines the four basic types of love: affection, friendship, erotic love, and charity. He analyzes the possibilities and problems of each, from parent-child relationships to romantic love, and warns of the risks of loving badly: possessiveness, jealousy, pride, or false sentimentality. The author argues that loving entails dangers, but that love is a necessity and a gift worth risking, for outside love only hell remains.
Work originally published in 1960; this paperback edition is from 1971, in the Harvest/HBJ collection. The book is written in English and has 156 pages.
For readers interested in Christian spirituality, theology, and philosophical reflection on human relationships, with the accessible style of the author of «The Screwtape Letters».
Clive Staples Lewis was a British author, literary scholar and Anglican lay theologian.
