144. "The history of romantic love" In response to In response to 0 Mon Mar-22-04 11:11 AM
I was watching some Joseph Campbell, the Power of Myth series were he discusses love. Not to say individuals in other cultures did n't appreciate individuals on a one on one basis but the social system was dveloped in Europe and it was in direct contravention against the Church since marriages were arranged and annointed by the Church the fact the individuals placed individual love over tradition was very political and revoultionary for Europeans. The history of Valentine's day comforms this.
