I’ve had success teaching Frankfurt’s Reasons of Love (excerpts or the whole thing) and Lorde’s Uses of the Erotic, for two very different options!

My new book (Love in Time, just out from Chicago) has some parts that might make good short excerpts, too. Let me know if I can recommend anything!

If you’re headed to @aarweb.bsky.social later this month, I would love to see you Sunday at 3pm for a panel on the book! Amy Hollywood, Martin Kavka, and Lou Ruprecht will speak with Andrew Walker-Cornetta presiding and a response from me. I’m honored and grateful to each of the panelists!

Thank you!! I am too lucky with this cover—an original watercolor by the designer!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Yay!!!!! Congratulations!! They’re so lucky to have you!!

Thank you!! What virtues it may have are in no small part thanks to you!!

And I love the Jim Croce comparison! The more bitter version, maybe, is Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” :)

Thank you!!

I haven’t yet but I’ve been appreciating her work for years! I’ll reach out!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

The book argues for a view of love as an experience of uncertainty, and what that demands of us as lovers, thinkers, and speakers of our experience.

Also considered: vulnerability to our own desires, lovers as bad shoppers, and do we ever fully know our beloveds? (Not really, and why would we want to?)

If you’ve ever wondered what love feels like as a finite being, and why philosophers so rarely talk about it that way, this book is for you!

Thanks for sponsoring it!!
