In this second volume of his Meaning in Life trilogy, Singer returns to the subject of his earlier work, exploring a different approach. Without denying his previous emphasis on the role of imagination and creativity, in this book Singer investigates the ability of them both to make one's life meaningful. A "systematic mapping" of the various facets of love (including sexual love, love in society, and religious love), The Pursuit of Love is an extended essay that offers Singer's own philosophical and psychological theory of love.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.Irving Singer LibraryLoveLoveHistoryPHILOSOPHY/GeneralLove.LoveHistory.128/.46Singer Irving551800OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910780991703321The pursuit of love3737720UNINA
