In his widely acclaimed trilogy The Nature of Love, Irving Singer traced the development of the concept of love in history and literature from the Greeks to the twentieth century. Now in a sequel to his previous work, Singer explores a different approach. A "systematic mapping" of the various facets of love, the present volume is an extended essay that offers a philosophical and psychiatric theory of his own. Rich in insight into literature, the history of ideas, and the complexities of our being, The Pursuit of Love is a thought-provoking inquiry into fundamental aspects of all human relationships.

His many books include Reality Transformed: Film as Meaning and Technique, The Goals of Human Sexuality, Mozart and Beethoven: The Concept of Love in Their Operas, Santayana's Aesthetics, and his acclaimed trilogies, The Nature of Love and Meaning in Life, the latter available from Johns Hopkins.
