review 1: A thoroughly thought-provoking work, courageous in his honesty about what 'love' is, in all its guises: physical, political, psychological and all the nuances with regards the relationship love has to art, politics and literature and indeed, how it is expressed. I particularly like the notion that "Art is very closely linked to love since the latter is basically the moment when an event breaks through existence." And also: "When the logic of identity wins the day, love is under threat...the identity cult of repetition must be challenged by love of what is different, is unique, is unrepeatable, unstable and foreign." A definite read for anyone interested in love and, of course, philosophy, history, literature, and particularly in politics.
review 2: Voljeti zna... moreči upustiti se u koštac, povrh svake samoće, sa svime u svijetu što može udahnuti život našem postojanju. U tom svijetu izravno vidim izvor sreće koju mi pruža bivanje s drugim. "Volim te" postaje: u svijetu se nalazi izvor mog postojanja, a to si ti. U vodi tog izvora vidim našu radost, ponajprije tvoju. Vidim, kao u Mallarmeovoj pjesmi: U valu ti postala si Čisti ushit svoj. less
