About this film

Dr. Adler begins this discussion by considering the kinds of human love, the various meaning of the work love as it is used in ordinary speech, and the different attitudes that people take toward love. In this last connection, he considers the opposition between those who love love and those who hate it. The first program focuses on the central problem of the entire series which is the distinction between love and desire and their relation to one another.
