About the Book

Love as a Guide to Morals is an entry-level introduction to the ethical importance of love. Written in conversational format this book looks uniquely at the complexity of love in human relationships and how love can guide ethical decision-making. The book suggests that love in all its intricacy—erotic/erosic love, friendship, affection, and agapic love—is the great good of human life. The book argues that love has a unifying power for morality, and is more suited to ethical thinking and practice than any other idea. Love as a Guide to Morals uses a modified Aristotelian argument (after Alsdair MacIntyre) and suggests “loving relationships” rather than happiness as the goal of human life.

Review :
"There are many admirable traits to be found in the text … It is remarkably concise, given how much intellectual ground is covered by the discussion, yet utterly free of technical jargon, and manages to introduce readers to the discipline and practice of philosophy while also making a fairly rigorous argument that love, while not the only basis for morality, “is a better basis than all the others”… highly accessible to readers with or without philosophical training, and one that biblio-therapists as well as classroom instructors are likely to find easy to use. … anyone who wishes to pursue the philosophical arguments will benefit greatly from his enormously detailed endnotes" – in: Philosophical Practice 8/2 (July 2013), 1234-36 "This book is unique in providing a clear, thoughtful introduction to ethical theory and moral practice by placing them within a deep and profound aspect of human existence: loving relationships" – Dr. David Boersema, Pacific University, Oregon "I find this to be a brilliant account of a love-based ethics … Fitz-Gibbon is particularly ingenious in the way he uses rather than refutes established positions in moral philosophy, uses them to show that they imply or support or are improved by his ethics of love." – Dr. Joseph Betz, Villanova University "The focus on love as a central part of ethics is wonderful, and I can’t think of any other book that I’ve used that shows how love is central to thinking about ethics." – Dr. Danielle Poe, University of Dayton
