What is Bell Hooks' concept of 'love'?
In her book All About Love: New Visions, Bell Hooks defines love as an active, transformative force essential for personal and societal change. She criticizes the ways love is often misconceived in modern society, urging a return to love as an ethic and practice that requires will, discipline, and the courage to challenge oppressive systems and behaviors. For Hooks, love is a verb, a participatory action that is the basis of a meaningful life.
