This title is a reprint of the 1994 Rowman and 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.
