In this volume, Luhmann analyzes the evolution of love in Western Europe from the 17th century to the present. In the book he aims to restore the lost link between academically reputable social theorizing and the subjective experience of life.

Trade Review
"There is a dearth of analytical writing about the emotions and sentiments that seem to motivate most human action, at least in everyday discussion, although some researchers are making some efforts to remedy this situation. Love as Passion is an outstanding contribution to this emerging trend . . . full of novel information and fascinating ideas."— Contemporary Sociology
