A lover's discourse : fragments / Roland Barthes ; translated by Richard Howard

by Roland Barthes

This philosophical study analyses the relationship between love and inquiry, focusing on themes of doubt and the desire for knowledge. It explores how the experience of love challenges intellectual complacency and allows for the adoption of new perspectives.

Barthes addresses the language of love, a language of solitude, of mythology, of what he calls an "image repertoire". It is aimed at two groups of readers: those who have been in love, and those who have not. A wide range of examples are included, from Nietzsche to Zen.
