Reviews

The editors of this inspiring new collection rightly contend that the question of love is woefully under-treated in contemporary Continental philosophy. This failure has impoverished both philosophy and contemporary life, making this volume a timely and much-needed intervention as well as a cause for gratitude. </p>--Jason M. Wirth, author of <em>Commiserating with Devastated Things: Milan Kundera and the Entitlements of Thinking</em></p>

This collection opens up an overdue discussion of the intersections of love and thinking within the continental tradition. </p>--Helen A. Fielding, <em>Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews</em></p>

This collection opens up an overdue discussion of the intersections of love and thinking within the continental tradition. --Helen A. Fielding, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
