Notes on Love in a Tamil Family

"Very important for South Indian Studies, the work marks a break with the dominant interpretive traditions that have been stagnant for some time now."—Stephen A. Tyler

Riassunto

Love, as a force in human affairs, is not given much attention by social scientists. Power, rank, capital, advantage, survival, ego integration and cognitive order are seen as main human goals, but the need to love has been suspect. The author places the notion of love in social science discourse.
