Features: What exactly is love between men and women? Why did Romeo and Juliet fall in love at first sight? Do animals also have love? Why do people fall in love? How can we explain the unwavering love that lasts until death? This research work by the Bulgarian philosopher Vassiliev attempts to answer these questions. The author cites a large amount of material from world literature, analyzing various aspects of the issue of love from the perspectives of ethics, sociology, and psychology. The author firmly rejects religious asceticism, believing that love between men and women is reasonable and justified, while also elaborating in detail on issues such as love and responsibility, love and morality, and the heart and intellect. Since its first publication in 1984, this book has been printed 12 times and has sold 1,210,000 copies.
