reviewed About Love: Reinventing Romance for Our Times on April 14, 2009
About Love
Primarily an existentialist scholar (his guides to philosophy are brilliant), Solomon turns philosopher himself in this engaging examination of love. Like a good philosopher, Solomon takes things to the bottom, questioning why and if love can exist at all, then constructs possible meanings that it can have in lived life. A beautiful, personal effort.
