Elizabeth Godly. Although the nature of love is not easy to define, it has an intrinsic order, an architecture that can be detected, excavated and explored. Emotional experience in all its resplendent complexity cannot emerge. Ex vacuole. It must originate in dynamic neural systems humming with physiological mechanization. Sze, as specific and patterned as they are intricate because it is part of the physical universe. Love has to be lawful, like the rest of the world is governed and described by principles we can discover but cannot change. If we only knew where and how to look, we should be able to find emotional laws whose actions a person could no more resist than he could. The force of gravity if he fell off a cliff. Locating loves precepts is a daunting task. Every conception of love inevitably depends on a view off the broader totality of the emotional mind. Until the most recent snippet of human history, however, a science of the mind did not exist. Classical Greek disciplines included geometry, astronomy, medicine, botany but no conception of human emotions that could claim more credibility than their contemporaneous and vivid myths. That empirical emptiness endured for thousands of years philosophers expounded and debated on emotional life. Four. Bodily humors here, demonic possession there. But the world waited until the end of the 19th century a. D for systematic investigation into feelings and passion. When scientific attention first turned to the heart's mysteries, the technology's essential to solving them were inconceivable. At the end of the 19th century, a handful of thinkers Sigmund Freud, William James Ville Ham, Buoyant worked on assembling the earliest scientific accounts of human mental faculties. Brilliant pioneers though they were, they could know nothing about the mines. Physicality about the minuscule neural mechanisms that combine and conspire to create the stuff of mental life. Sights, sounds, thoughts, ambitions, feelings, love secrets remained buried within the most Impenetrable treasure chest the world has ever known. A tangle of 100 billion cells whose innumerable electrical currents and chemical signals come together to create a single living human brain. From the beginning of the 20th century to its end, influential accounts of love included no biology. It has been said that neurotics build castles in the sky while psychotics live in them and psychiatrists collect the rent. But it is the psychiatrists and psychologists who have been living within a palace of theory, suspended over a void when they built their understanding of the emotional mind, the brain was a cipher. The foundations of their edifice had to be fashioned out of the only substance in plentiful supply, the purest speculation.
