Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions.
Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love
more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out
of love? In On Romantic Love, Berit Brogaard attempts to get to the
bottom of love's many contradictions. This short book, informed by
both historical and cutting edge philosophy, psychology, and
neuroscience, combines a new theory of romantic love with
entertaining anecdotes from real life and accessible explanations
of the neuroscience underlying our wildest passions. Against the
grain, Brogaard argues that love is an emotion; that it can be, at
turns, both rational and irrational; and that it can be manifested
in degrees. We can love one person more than another and we can
love a person a little or a lot or not at all. And love isn't even
always something we consciously feel. However, love - like other
emotions, both conscious and not - is subject to rational control,
and falling in or out of it can be a deliberate choice. This
engaging and innovative look at a universal topic, featuring
original line drawings by illustrator Gareth Southwell, illuminates
the processes behind heartbreak, obsession, jealousy, attachment,
and more.
