Love Is Giving What You Dont Have Not Having and Not Knowing Love as a Metaphor: The Signification of Love The Miracle of Love Love in the Analytic Context Where They Love They Do Not Desire Where They Desire They Do Not Love On Women, Love, and Desire Too Little Too Much Freudian Conundrums: Love Is Incompatible with Desire 16 It will be of great value to students and scholars of psychology and of the humanities generally, and to analysts of all persuasions. This first-ever commentary on Lacans Seminar VIII, Transference, provides readers with a clear and systematic introduction to Lacans views on love. He shows how the emptiness or lack we feel within ourselves gets covered over or entwined in love, and how it is possible and indeed vital to give something to another that we feel we ourselves dont have. Taking within his compass a vast array of traditions from Antiquity to the courtly love poets, Christian love, and Romanticism and providing an in-depth examination of Freud and Lacan on love and libido, Fink unpacks Lacans paradoxical claim that love is giving what you dont have.
In this lively and wide-ranging exploration of love throughout the ages, Fink argues that it can. Deliriously mad excitement turns to disenchantment, if not deadening repetition, and we wonder how we shall ever break out of this vicious cycle.Ĭan psychoanalysis with ample assistance from philosophers, poets, novelists, and songwriters give us a new perspective on the wellsprings and course of love? Can it help us fathom how and why we are often looking for love in all the wrong places, and are fundamentally confused about what love really is? As wary as we may be of its illusions and disappointments, many of us fall blindly into its traps and become ensnared time and again. Quintessentially fascinating, love intrigues and perplexes us, and drives much of what we do in life.
