Hi Nort,
A quick Email to say thanks for dinner and the ride to the train station last week. I enjoyed our conversation and would like to continue it! I have begun a new research project examining love cross culturally. There are many kinds of love. Indeed, love constitutes its own universe of feelings. As I already mentioned kinship is an aspect of this universe. Each culture regulates the flow of affect in certain ways and patterns. The patterns themselves may have a material base, but the feelings themselves might have a different source. Where do our feelings come from? Where does love come from? Does it serve us to reduce love to just a biological or psychological effect? Or should we hold love up as having something like a divine origin, an aspect of the superorganic as the anthropologist Alfred Kroeber put it 100 years ago? Does love evolve? Does the survival of our species depend on it? I would like to know your thoughts on this.
Peace,
Tad
