Love and Lies Zusammenfassung

Love and Lies Clancy Martin

Is it possible to love well without lying? Love should lead us to the truth, about ourselves and about those we love, shouldn't it? But in the real world we find that love and lies often work hand in hand, and that it may be difficult to sustain love without illusions or even deception. Ranging widely across philosophy, his own experience, neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and many writers on love, Clancy Martin - divorced twice and married three times - explores how love, truthfulness and deception work together.

Love and Lies Bewertungen

"This is a strange and hauntingly intelligent book. To read it is to see new and unsettling complexities in our most cherished relationships, as well as to understand a little better the subtle workings of our own deceitful minds" -- Oliver Thring Sunday Times "A philosophical memoir with juicy details and an aching sense of loss and yearning-in other words, something entirely strange and new from a wounded lover of the truth" -- Walter Kirn, author of Up in the Air "Perhaps paradoxically, this is one of the most honest books I have read about love" -- Simon Critchley, author of The Book of Dead Philosophers "Read this book if you really want to know some of the scary truths about love--or even if, like me, you have attained the ideal of pure, truthful, transparent love... Martin writes philosophy the way I wish all philosophers would: with humor, wit, and style" -- Akhil Sharma, author of Family Life: A Novel "Love and Lies is a delight to read" -- Michael Washburn Boston Globe Sunday
