Summary:
"Is
love
best when it is fresh? For many, the answer is a resounding "yes." The intense experiences that characterize new
love
are impossible to replicate, leading us to reflect on these moments with longing and to pursue the thrill offered by these beginnings. Aaron Ben Ze'ev takes these experiences seriously, but he's also here to remind us of the benefits of profound love-an emotion that can only develop with
time
. In The
Arc
of
Love
, he provides an in-depth philosophical account of the experiences that arise in early, intense love-sexual passion, novelty, change-as well as the benefits of cultinvating long-term, profound love-stability, development, calmness. Ben-Ze'ev analyzes the core of emotions we experience in early
love
and the challenges we encounter, and he offers pointers for weathering these challenges. Deploying the rigorous analysis of a philosopher, but writing clearly and in an often humorous style with an eye to lived experience, he takes on topics like compromise, commitment, polyamory, choosing a partner, online dating, and when to say "I
love
you." Ultimately, Ben Ze'ev assures us, while
love
is indeed best when fresh, if we tend to it carefully, it can become more delicious and nourishing even as
time
marches on."--From publisher.
