Summary:
"As a woman with a husband and other partners, philosopher Carrie Jenkins knows that
love
is complicated.
Love
is most often associated with happiness, satisfaction and pleasure. But it has a darker side we ignore at our peril.
Love
is often an uncomfortable and difficult feeling. The people we
love
can let us down badly. And the ways we
love
are often quite different to the romantic ideals society foists upon us. Since we are inevitably disappointed by
love
, wouldn't we be better off without it? No, says Carrie Jenkins. Instead, we need a new philosophy of
love
, one that recognizes that the pain and suffering
love
causes are a natural, even a good part of what makes
love
worthwhile. What Jenkins calls '
sad
love
' offers no bogus 'happy ever afters.' Rather, it tries to find a way properly to integrate heartbreak and disappointment into the lived experience of
love
. It's time we liberated
love
."--Back cover.
