Does love command an ineffability that remains inaccessible to the
philosopher? Thinking About Love considers the nature and
experience of love through the writing of well-known Continental
philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques
Derrida, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Evolving forms of social
organization, rapid developments in the field of psychology, and
novel variations on relationships demand new approaches to and ways
of talking about love. Rather than offering prescriptive claims,
this volume explores how one might think about the concept
philosophically, without attempting to resolve or alleviate its
ambiguities, paradoxes, and limitations. The essays focus on the
contradictions and limits of love, manifested in such phenomena as
trust, abuse, grief, death, violence, politics, and desire. An
erudite examination of the many facets of love, this book fills a
lacuna in the philosophy of this richly complicated topic. Along
with the editors, the contributors are Sophie Bourgault, John
Caruana, Christina M. Gschwandtner, Marguerite La Caze, Alphonso
Lingis, Christian Lotz, Todd May, Dawne McCance, Dorothea Olkowski,
Felix Ó Murchadha, Fiona Utley, and Mélanie Walton.
