Is love best when it is fresh? For many, the answer is a resounding
"yes." The intense experiences that characterize new love are
impossible to replicate, leading to wistful reflection and even a
repeated pursuit of such ecstatic beginnings. Aaron Ben-Ze'ev takes
these experiences seriously, but he's also here to remind us of the
benefits of profound love--an emotion that can only develop with
time. In The Arc of Love, he provides an in-depth, philosophical
account of the experiences that arise in early, intense
love--sexual passion, novelty, change--as well as the benefits of
cultivating long-term, profound love--stability, development,
calmness. Ben-Ze'ev analyzes the core of emotions many experience
in early love and the challenges they encounter, and he offers
pointers for weathering these challenges. Deploying the rigorous
analysis of a philosopher, but writing clearly and in an often
humorous style with an eye to lived experience, he takes on topics
like compromise, commitment, polyamory, choosing a partner, online
dating, and when to say "I love you." Ultimately, Ben-Ze'ev assures
us, while love is indeed best when fresh, if we tend to it
carefully, it can become more delicious and nourishing even as time
marches on.
