<p>“The contributors—scholars from Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US—offer insightful examinations of love, in its romantic/erotic, kenotic, friendship, and agapic forms. . . . A worthy foray into a topic of universal human experience, this collection will awaken readers to the value of what philosophy today says about love.”</p><p>—S. Young <i>Choice</i></p>

<p>“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.”</p><p>—Ewa Ziarek, author of <i>Feminist Aesthetics and the Politics of Modernism</i></p>

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