Can Philosophy Love? (eBook, ePUB)

Reflections and Encounters
Redaktion: Zeiher, Cindy; McGowan, Todd

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

How 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 Zizek, 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.
