OverviewHow can we articulate a philosophy of love? This volume stages encounters between contemporary understandings of love and philosophy. It considers particular continental philosophers who think about love and its relation to desire and sexuality. The essays in this collection contend with philosophy and psychoanalysis as lines of thought that expose love’s role in all knowledge. Drawing on the work of key thinkers such as Žižek, Badiou, Lacan, Hegel, Vattimo, Caygill, Levinas, Menshikov and Marx, this book puts love to work as a way of understanding the subject of desire as a figure of knowledge shaped by the event of love.

This is the real question addressed by this fascinating collection, the persistent provocation that permits it to open new ground. It is often said that questions are more interesting than answers; in this case, the answers could not be more compelling. -- Joan Copjec, Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University Why can't the question, What is love? be put to rest? This is the real question addressed by this fascinating collection, the persistent provocation that permits it to open new ground. It is often said that questions are more interesting than answers; in this case, the answers could not be more compelling. -- Joan Copjec, Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University A truly remarkable and inspiring collection of essays on topics situated at the intersection between philosophy and psychoanalysis, and leading to a wide range of various further interrogations, including politics. Can Philosophy Love? is simply a must! -- Alenka Zupancic, Professor of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, The European Graduate School Much of the greatest energy and creativity of contemporary Continental philosophy and the theoretical humanities is situated at the intersection of German idealism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. This superb collection brings together contributions by some of the leading representatives of this new philosophical constellation. Moreover, it addresses one of the biggest and most difficult perennial questions that anyone who thinks cannot avoid asking: What is love? The contributors' brilliant essays address amorous matters from Hegelian, Marxian, and Lacanian angles, shedding light both on love itself as well as on the intellectual orientations deployed to analyze it. Nobody interested in either love or today's theoretical avant-garde can justify ignoring this book. -- Adrian Johnston, Professor of Philosophy, University of New Mexico Socrates famously maintained that all he knew was that he knew nothing - except in the matters of love. But can love be a matter of proper knowledge, or is love the one thing that ultimately defies knowledge? After 2500 years of philosophical rumination on love after Plato's Symposium, can philosophy say something new about love? The essays of the present volume, ranging from Plato to 9/11, from mysticism to Badiou, from Hegel to Lacan, from Rousseau to Levinas, from Kierkegaard to Malevitch, from politics to popular culture, passionately engage with this most praised and most enigmatic of all signifiers, and they succeed, between them, with the most difficult feat: to produce novelty and surprise. -- Mladen Dolar, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Philosophy, University of Ljubljana Author InformationTodd McGowan is a Professor in the Department of Film and Television Studies at the University of Vermont.
