Love

The Art of Living (Routledge)

by Tony Milligan

What does it mean to love, and to be loved? Can we trust love? Is it overrated? Tony Milligan pursues these fundamental, universally pondered questions in his novel exploration of a subject that has occupied philosophers since the time of Plato. Love examines the links between love and grief, love and nature, and between love of others and loving oneself. Milligan also addresses the mood of pessimism about the nature of love that reaches back through Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard and explores the value and significance of love in fostering enjoyable and successful human lives. Milligan argues that we love too few things in the world and adds that we also need to be loved in order to appreciate our own value and the worth of life itself.

The British tax payer pays for Milligan's wage. The same taxpayer is going to pay for his health care, his pension plan and is currently paying for paid vacations and all sorts of travel arrangements for the brilliant scammer. The same tax payer has paid for this wonderful book to become a reality, and Milligan is going to pocket the royalties. So Love is a good title. And the fist is probably the best cover possible. If you are British, welcome the fist love Milligan has to offer you. And it can't be called rape, because it's mandated by the Government.
