{"product_id":"alienation-and-identity-in-romantic-gary-foster-9781666912340","title":"Alienation and Identity in Romantic Love","description":"The concept of romantic love, influenced as it is by the theme within Romanticism of alienation and identification, suggests an important connection between love and personal identity. Love in this context recognizes both the sense in which one's beloved is a separate human being and is, at the same time, a constitutive aspect of one's identity. \u003ci\u003eAlienation and Identity in Romantic Love\u003c\/i\u003e explores this connection in the context of discussions of both metaphysical views of personal identity and practical or ethical accounts. To this end, Gary Foster discusses the work of influential philosophers in both the analytic and continental traditions as well as the findings of sociologists. He explores the love and personal identity relationship through moral and narrative perspectives and examines certain aspects of the modern love experience such as the phenomenon of online dating. Ultimately, Foster finds in Jean-Paul Sartre's work a promising approach to understanding this connection through his emphasis on embodied identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666912344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666912340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2025","brand":"Gary Foster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47039928598783,"sku":"9781666912340","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d853b1e3-7642-4500-b688-24e8a9a21c73.jpg?v=1752753033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alienation-and-identity-in-romantic-gary-foster-9781666912340","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
