Conditions of Love: The Philosophy of Intimacy

Conditions of Love: The Philosophy of Intimacy

by JohnArmstrong (Author)

Synopsis

This work aims to raise one of the deepest and most puzzling questions we can put to ourselves: "What is love?" Drawing on writers and thinkers as diverse as Plato, Tolstoy, Freud and Stendhal, John Armstrong explores how our perception of love is formed by culture and history. The book joins the search for a more mature conception of love without self-deception and asks whether this is even achievable.
