Love and Beauty

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of beauty and love, Guy Sircello presents a provocative theory that identifies the qualities embodying beauty as the true objects of love. He argues that the pleasure derived from love is fundamentally "erotic," yet not confined to sexuality. By bridging premodern and modern perspectives, Sircello critiques contemporary views that disconnect aesthetic experiences from the human body, emphasizing the continuity between these concepts throughout history.
