Review
"Delicious and cerebral. Its stars are Freud and Plato and so, delightfully, is as much about the mysterious agitations of sex as it is about the spirituality of love. Singer is clearly the Stephen Hawking of the metaphysics and history of love." -- Alan Soble, author of The Structure of Love

Product Description
"Love is not merely a contributor -- one among others -- to a meaningful life. In its own way it may underlie all other forms of meaning." -- from the Introduction
In his widely acclaimed trilogy The Nature of Love, Irving Singer traced the development of the concept of love in history and literature 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.
"The Pursuit of Love is a unique achievement in that it demonstrates the relation between love, value, and meaning. It is overall a work of great wisdom that I found to be illuminating and personally enriching." -- Arnold H. Modell, M.D., Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
