A reprint of the 1994 Rowman & Littlefield edition. 'About Love' is a refreshingly reasonable and engagingly readable study of the phenomenon of romantic love. Offering insightful observations from a broad range of sources -- literary, historical, and personal -- Robert Solomon explores the crucial ingredients of time and sex in contemporary relationships and discusses whether love 'at first sight' is possible, and whether love that lasts a lifetime is probable.

Industry Reviews

The best book on this most written-on subject to come along in decades. -- Los Angeles Daily News
In this wise, witty, adventurous essay, Solomon sheds light on love at first sight, whether opposites attract, counterfeit emotion, the euphemism (and act) of 'sleeping together,' possessiveness, the need of lovers for privacy and the importance of fights in a healthy relationship. -- Publishers Weekly
For the generation of lovers that asks, 'How are we to make love last?' -- The New York Times Book Review
