The Pursuit of Love Paperback - 1995

by Irving Singer


First line

Ideas in the history of philosophy filter into the emotional responses of ordinary men and women.

From the rear cover

In his widely acclaimed trilogy The Nature of Love, Irving Singer traced the development of the concept of love in history and literaure from the Greeks to the twentieth century. Now in a sequel to his previous work, Singer explores a different approach. A "systematic mapping" of the various facets of love, the present volume is an extended essay that offers a philosophical and psychiatric theory of his own. Rich in insight into literature, the history of ideas, and the complexities of our being, The Pursuit of Love is a thought-provoking inquiry into fundamental aspects of all human relationships.
