"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,author of Commiserating with Devastated Things: Milan Kundera and the Entitlements of Thinking, "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." --S.

Synopsis
Does love command an ineffability that remains inaccessible to the philosopher? Thinking About Love considers the nature and experience of love through the writing of well-known Continental philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Derrida, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Evolving forms of social organization, rapid developments in the field of psychology, and novel variations on relationships demand new approaches to and ways of talking about love. Rather than offering prescriptive claims, this volume explores how one might think about the concept philosophically, without attempting to resolve or alleviate its ambiguities, paradoxes, and limitations. The essays focus on the contradictions and limits of love, manifested in such phenomena as trust, abuse, grief, death, violence, politics, and desire. An erudite examination of the many facets of love, this book fills a lacuna in the philosophy of this richly complicated topic. Along with the editors, the contributors are Sophie Bourgault, John Caruana, Christina M. Gschwandtner, Marguerite La Caze, Alphonso Lingis, Christian Lotz, Todd May, Dawne McCance, Dorothea Olkowski, Felix Murchadha, Fiona Utley, and M lanie Walton., Does love command an ineffability that remains inaccessible to the philosopher?

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (1,583)
- i***k (31)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe quality of the item was as described ‘like new’. The value and appearance were flawless as described. My only issue was with the shipping. I feel like I paid a lot of extra money for shipping and the seller did not even ship it in protected bubble wrap or anything. Just some paper that was crumpled up on top and below of it. It just seemed cheap and like the seller didn’t really care how the item arrived. But, thankfully it was still perfect.Reply from: jeffsb730- Feedback replied by seller jeffsb730.- Feedback replied by seller jeffsb730.While I appreciate the positive feedback, the information on the shipping here simply isn't true. This was shipped in a protective bubble envelope, and because it's a steelbook that can dent easily, it was also wrapped in additional bubblewrap inside the envelope to ensure that it was extra secure. No paper of any type was put into the envelope at all. Extra care was taken to ensure that this was safe, and i dont know why you would try to claim otherwise hereZootopia 4K SteelBook Blu-ray Best Buy Exclusive (#286485954412)
