Aleksander Kacprzak approaches the concept of love through the lens of the Danish language, providing insight into its language and culture relative side. In addition to providing a cognitively viable account of the concept of KAeRLIGHED 'love', the author allows the reader to explore broader areas of the Danish worldview, which the concept is inherently connected to, such as marriage, sex, gender parity, parenthood, God, friendship and homeland. Altogether, the dynamic and diverse picture of the concept drawn in the analytic parts of the book challenges the common understanding of linguistic categorization, and compels one to perceive worldviews as an organic whole, in which concepts are inextricably tied to one another and cannot be considered in isolation to the culture in which they are immersed.
