LaFollette has produced valuable and interesting results, and he defends his position with philosophical acuity and personal wisdom.\" \u003ci\u003eLester Hunt, University of Wisconsin\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eHugh Lafollette\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at East Tennessee State University. His publications include \u003ci\u003eWhose Child?\u003c\/i\u003e (1981), \u003ci\u003ePerson to Person\u003c\/i\u003e (1989) and he is co-editor of \u003ci\u003eWorld Hunger and Moral Obligation\u003c\/i\u003e (1977).  This book is a lively introduction to and exploration of the nature and value of personal relationships.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eLaFollette argues that a careful examination of friendship, love and kinship illuminates and is illuminated by philosophical discussions of the self, the emotions, and reason. He also explores a variety of questions about the conduct of our relationships: honesty, jealousy, commitment, sex, and equality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is primarily a contribution to the growing philosophical literature on personal relationships. However, by relating practical concerns about personal relationships to more theoretical philosophical issues, the volume provides the ideal basis for introductory philosophy and ethics courses, as well as specialized upper division courses on personal relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989768290533,"sku":"NP9780631196853","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631196853.jpg?v=1761785404","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/personal-relationships-isbn-9780631196853","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
