Softcover. Condition: Good. From Library Journal In this challenging and entertaining anthology, which collects his essays from newspapers and popular magazines, the author demonstrates his devotion to making philosophy accessible. Ideas give life meaning, he declares; they are as natural and urgently needed as food or sex. Spanning a variety of such current topics as progress, love, and business ethics, his essays evince a winning combination of hard-hitting facts and subtle wit. He makes complex or abstract issues truly approachable for lay readers by illustrating them with everyday examples. Solomon has written over ten books, including Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit (Oxford Univ. Pr., 1987) and Love: Emo tion, Myth, and Metaphor (Prometheus Bks., 1990). His new work is a worthwhile acquisition for both public and academic libraries.- Nancy Shires, East Carolina Univ., Greenville, Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description This delightful collection of fifty witty and insightful essays is written for real people in plain language by an internationally respected philosopher who is well-known for his efforts to "popularize" philosophy.Originally published in newspapers and popular magazines, these essays are presented to "elicit the joy of reflection," to provoke argument and intimacy, and to encourage understanding. Robert Solomon's aim is to make philosophy accessible and fun for everyone. You are cordially invited to join in a fascinating romp through many of the sticky intellectual brambles that have tantalized the human mind for centuries. Read about: "Becoming a Philosopher," "What's Wrong with Sentimentality?", "The Game of Love," "The Politics of Sleep," "Are the Three Stooges Funny?", "Righteous Food," "The One-Minute Moralist," "In Defense of Kitsch," "The New Illiteracy," "Are Ethics Courses Useful?", "Professors Riot: Kill Moby Dick," and much more.Entertaining Ideas will captivate the curious and positively unnerve all those who believe that good ideas have to be dull, boring, and impossible to understand.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. What does philosophy know of love? From Plato on, philosophers have struggled to pin love to the dissecting table and view it in the cold light of logic. Yet, as Arthur Danto writes in the foreword to this volume, "how incorrigibly stiff philosophy is when it undertakes to lay its icy fingers on the frilled and beating wings of the butterfly of love."Love, elusive and philosophically intractable as it is, has long fascinated philosophers. In this collection of classic and modern writings on the topic of erotic love, Robert Solomon and Kathleen Higgins have chosen excerpts from the great philosophical texts and combined them with the most exciting new work of philosophers writing today.The result is a broadly conceived, comprehensive, and important work, nearly as stimulating and provocative as love itself. It examines the mysteries of erotic love from a variety of philosophical perspectives and provides an impressive display of the wisdom that the world's best thinkers have brought, and continue to bring, to the study of love."Stunning! This brilliant interdisciplinary collection is as provocative, enchanting, and richly rewarding as its topic. Unrivaled in scope and richness, blending classic and contemporary readings on love, here is a wellspring of insights for scholars, students, and general readers alike." Mike W. Martin, author of Self-Deception and Morality.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Love - our hearts yearn for it, we fall into it or out of it, we'll do almost anything to attain and keep it. Those who have experienced the "power of love" whirl from its embrace. It is delicious anguish, gut-wrenching pain, and intoxicating allure. Nations go to war over it, crimes are committed to satisfy its demands, lives are often ruined because of it, and extraordinary feats of courage and sacrifice are performed in its name. But beyond the cliches and greeting card platitudes, do we really understand what love is, and how it alters the way we think, feel, and behave?Should love be viewed as little more than a lusty romp, or is there more to it? What is the relationship between love and romance, caring, concern, compassion, thoughtfulness, sex, and the many other components that our society jumbles together in this potent potpourri whose power can give strength to the weakest among us, or turn powerhouses of strength into emotional mush.It is precisely because love is such an important part of our lives that we owe it to ourselves to reach beyond overwhelming passion and the roadblocks of illusion to achieve real understanding of this extraordinary human phenomenon. It won't always be easy - in fact, it's sometimes quite painful. But the rewards are many for those who will risk exploring their own cherished attitudes about a subject that has held us in its grip for centuries and shows no signs of letting go.Some of the topics covered are:- What I Feel in My Heart - On the (Alleged) Origins of Romantic Love- What Do I Want When I Want You? - Why Do I Love You?- The Importance of Being Honest - Love, Sex, and Intimacy- Beyond Sex and Gender - What's So Good About Love?.
