Which C.S. Lewis book about human affection was published in 1960?

The Four Loves is C.S. Lewis’s book about human affection, published in 1960.

The book developed from a BBC radio series that Lewis presented in 1958. It examines four Greek terms and concepts associated with different forms of love: affection, friendship, erotic love, and charitable or self-giving love.

Lewis uses the traditional Greek words storge, philia, eros, and agape to organize his discussion. He does not treat them as completely isolated categories; instead, he considers how natural loves can be generous, distorted, or transformed when they are placed in relation to a higher form of love.

The Four Loves appeared late in Lewis’s life, after his marriage to Joy Davidman and during the period when his work was widely read in Britain and abroad. It is an argumentative Christian work rather than a novel or a direct biography.
