Love: Its Forms, Dimensions and Paradoxes

Rate this book
The book is concerned with questions about questions about its many forms, strands and aspects, and the relation in which they stand to each other. It is concerned with the way different aspects of sexual love conflict with each other, with the way self-regard and self-interest can corrupt love, and with spiritual love and its difficulties. It seeks the views of some writers who have suggested some distinctive solutions to the existential problems that love poses in the face of its Plato, Proust, Sartre, Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Erich Fromm, C.S. Lewis, Kierkegaard, Simone Weil and Kahlil Gibran.

Ne kitaplar yarım bıraktım bunu neden bitirdim? Benimki bitirmek sayılır mı, başlıyorum. Neredeyse bir sene önce pembe kapağına ve içinde geçen Kierkegaard, Spinoza, Sartre vs gibi isimlere kanarak almıştım bu kitabı. Nedense bitirmem gerektiğini, bitirince aydınlanmış olacağımı filan zannettim. Sayfaları çevirdikçe hep aynı alıntıları, yok şuradan bi pasaj yok buradan bir pasaj yok gelecek kitabımdan bir parça derken tekdüze ve sıradan insanlar sevgi hakkında ne diyecekse aynılarını gördüm. Amaan. Okumayın boşverin. Kapağının pembesi de zamanla soluyor zaten.

"Excellent"

An excellent book on the philosophy of love written by a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wales, Swansea. As the title, this is a nicely (maybe a bit intense for leisure reading) written book on topics of love with nice reviews on famous ideas from Plato, Proust, Sartre, Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Erich Fromm, C.S. Lewis, Kierkegaard, Simone Weil and Kahlil Gibran.
