Philosophy of Love is marvelous...a needed defense of humanism when the world seems to be growing more pragmatic and less reflective.

Synopsis
The author of the classic philosophical treatment of love reflects on the trajectory, over decades, of his thoughts on love and other topics. In 1984, Irving Singer published the first volume of what would become a classic and much acclaimed trilogy on love. Trained as an analytical philosopher, Singer first approached his subject with the tools of current philosophical methodology. Dissatisfied by the initial results (finding the chapters he had written "just dreary and unproductive of anything"), he turned to the history of ideas in philosophy and the arts for inspiration. He discovered an immensity of speculation and artistic practice that reached wholly beyond the parameters he had been trained to consider truly philosophical. In his three-volume work The Nature of Love , Singer tried to make sense of this historical progression within a framework that reflected his precise distinction-making and analytical background. In this new book, he maps the trajectory of his thinking on love. It is a "partial" summing-up of a lifework- partial because it expresses the author's still unfolding views, because it is a recapitulation of many published pages, because love-like any subject of that magnitude-resists a neatly comprehensive, all-inclusive formulation. Adopting an informal, even conversational, tone, Singer discusses, among other topics, the history of romantic love, the Platonic ideal, courtly and nineteenth-century Romantic love; the nature of passion; the concept of merging (and his critique of it); ideas about love in Freud, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Dewey, Santayana, Sartre, and other writers; and love in relation to democracy, existentialism, creativity, and the possible future of scientific investigation. Singer's writing on love embodies what he has learned as a contemporary philosopher, studying other authors in the field and "trying to get a little further." This book continues his trailblazing explorations., The author of the classic philosophical treatment of love reflects on the trajectory, over decades, of his thoughts on love and other topics., The author of the classic philosophical treatment of love reflects on the trajectory, over decades, of his thoughts on love and other topics.

    Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Sounds like a question for Harrison Ford. Was the Easton Press published copy of this classic sci-fi read that inspired the revolutionary film Blade Runner, also now a classic, sent to me quickly, packaged well and delivered in the condition as pictured and described? Yes, yes, and yes! Would you recommend the seller milo8416 for their care in fulfilling their end of eBay transactions! Yes, again! (Now, I'm sounding like an android!) Check out their stuff!
