Philosophy of Love : A Partial Summing-Up
by Irving Singer

Summary: The author of the classic philosophical treatment of love reflects on the trajectory, over decades, of his thoughts on love and other topics. In 1984, Irving Singer published the first volume of what would become a classic and much acclaimed trilogy on love. Trained as an analytical philosopher, Singer first approached his subject with the tools of current philosophical methodology. Dissatisfied by the initial results (finding the chapters he had written “just dreary and unproductive of anything”), he turned to the history of ideas in philosophy and the arts for inspiration. He discovered an immensity of speculation and artistic practice that reached wholly beyond the parameters he had been trained to consider truly philosophical. In his three-volume work The Nature of Love, Singer tried to make sense of this historical progression within a framework that reflected his precise distinction-making and analytical background. In this new book, he maps the trajectory of his thinking on love. It is a “partial” summing-up of a lifework: partial because it expresses the author’s still unfolding views, because it is a recapitulation of many published pages, because love-like any subject of that magnitude-resists a neatly comprehensive, all-inclusive formulation. Adopting an informal, even conversational, tone, Singer discusses, among other topics, the history of romantic love, the Platonic ideal, courtly and nineteenth-century Romantic love; the nature of passion; the concept of merging (and his critique of it); ideas about love in Freud, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Dewey, Santayana, Sartre, and other writers; and love in relation to democracy, existentialism, creativity, and the possible future of scientific investigation. Singer’s writing on love embodies what he has learned as a contemporary philosopher, studying other authors in the field and “trying to get a little further.” This book continues his trailblazing explorations. show more

The central aim has been to treat this subject as an engineering science. Throughout the text Bateman & Snell remind students of these five dimensions and their impact on the ‘bottom line’ with marginal icons contributing to the leadership and collaboration theme, which is the key to successful management. It is the ideal companion to McIntyre’s text, “The Practical Skeptic: Core Concepts in Sociology”, or other sociology texts. The textbook bridges the students from their undergraduate training into modern Bayesian methods. This text covers the standard topics of heat transfer with an emphasis on physics and real-world every day applications, while de-emphasizing the intimidating heavy mathematical aspects. The authors combine their first-rate scholarship with their first-hand knowledge to provide students with an authoritative, relevant, and thought-provoking introduction to the everyday functions of the police, the courts and the correctional system in the United States.
