by Byron Johnson, Jeffrey P Schloss, Michael E McCullough, Stephen G. Post ✦ Review by David Lorimer, April 2004
This volume is one of the early fruits of the Templeton sponsored programme to research Unlimited Love and will give researchers a handle on this emerging field. There are sections on other-regarding virtues, psychology, evolutionary biology and theology. Both books and papers are covered - and in the latter case the material is systematically set out so that readers can see objectives and results. There are also discursive sections on altruism in an evolutionary perspective and a chapter with profiles of unlimited love that include Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer and the Dalai Lama along with other less famous but no less significant people. An indispensable resource.
