A reprint of the 1994 Rowman and Littlefield edition.
A subtle and distinguished work by a philosopher renowned for his groundbreaking analysis of human emotions, About Love is an engaging study of the phenomenon of modern romantic love. With humor, verve, and wisdom, Robert Solomon reveals the underpinnings and ironies of this most exhilarating and excruciating of human experiences.
"The best book on this most written-on subject to come along in decades."
—Los Angeles Daily News
"In this wise, witty, adventurous essay, Solomon sheds light on love at first sight, whether opposites attract, counterfeit emotion, the euphemism (and act) of 'sleeping together,' possessiveness, the need of lovers for privacy and the importance of fights in a healthy relationship."
—Publishers Weekly
"For the generation of lovers that asks, 'How are we to make love last?'"
—The New York Times Book Review
Robert C. Solomon is Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Business and Philosophy and Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas, Austin. His The Passions: Emotions and the Meaning of Life is also available from Hackett Publishing Company.
