This book explores the philosophy of love through the thought and
life of Rabbi Akiva ben Joseph. Readers of the Talmud are
introduced to Rabbi Akiva through the iconic story of his love for
his wife Rachel. From this starting point, Naftali Rothenberg
conducts a thorough examination of the harmonious approach to love
in the obstacle-laden context of human reality. Discussing the
deterioration of passion into simple lust, the ability to contend
with suffering and death, and so forth, Rothenberg addresses the
deepest and most pressing questions about human love. The readings
and observations offered here allow readers to acquire the wisdom
of love-not merely as an assemblage of theoretical arguments and
abstract statements, but as an analysis of the internal
contradictions and difficulties revealed in the context of attempts
to realize and implement harmonious love.
