Agony of Eros

by Byung-Chul Han

2017

In our hyper-individualistic age, are we losing the capacity for genuine connection? Philosopher Byung-Chul Han argues that true love demands a willingness to encounter the "Other," a radical departure from the self-absorption fostered by modern society and technology. He provocatively explores how narcissism, capitalism, and even popular culture are eroding eros, challenging readers to consider what it means to truly desire and be desired. This concise yet potent essay is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the modern crisis of love.
