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. Jason M. Wirth, Seattle University
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
By bringing together a variety of critical approaches in contemporary Continental philosophy, ranging from phenomenology and psychoanalysis to neuroscience and Marxism, this comprehensive collection explores in depth the complexity, complicity, and possibility of love in its multiple manifestations: erotic, political, religious, and social. Through the undertheorized prism of love, the book addresses key contemporary philosophers Arendt, Beauvoir, Derrida, Kristeva, Lyotard, Marx, Merleau-Ponty and offers compelling rethinking of crucial philosophical themes, such as vulnerability, finitude, alterity, passions, nature, and materialism, as well as philosophy itself. Ewa Ziarek, University at Buffalo
