About Love: Reinventing Romance for Our Times

"Robert C. Solomon laments our society's damaging myths about love that make sustaining mature love difficult, if not impossible. He uses refreshing observations from a broad range of philosophical, religious, literary, psychological, and sociological sources. About Love offers insightful advice that dispels metaphysical fog and misleading metaphors that have made love so elusive. Reminding us that love is a force of nature, a social construction, and an individual responsibility, this book gives us the necessary tools to invent - and reinvent - love for ourselves."--Book cover.
