What can epistemology tell us about love? Here two philosophers use
their training in arguments and reasoning to uncover the role of
ungrounded beliefs when we fall in love. This not a self-help book,
it is a philosophy book. Free of advice, methods and strategies for
being successful in love, it does not offer solutions for problems.
What it gives us instead is a reading of love as it actually is.
The authors illustrate the fallacies of love by drawing on personal
experiences, literary characters and imaginary individuals. They
provide examples of ungrounded beliefs in Aesop’s Fables,
Cinderella and Don Giovanni amongst others, and illustrate love as
an inexhaustible source of misperceptions, misunderstandings and
misconceptions. By tackling those characteristic and all-too
familiar ways in which ungrounded love beliefs arise, the book
forces us to question why baseless beliefs are maintained and
reinforced, showing us that many love beliefs are built on anything
but logic.
