{"product_id":"in-praise-of-love","title":"In Praise of Love","description":"A new century, new threats to love . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove without risks is like war without deaths - but, today, love is threatened by an alliance of liberalism and hedonism. Caught between consumerism and casual sexual encounters devoid of passion, love - without the key ingredient of chance - is in danger of withering on the vine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn In Praise of Love, Alain Badiou takes on contemporary 'dating agency' conceptions of love that come complete with zero-risk insurance - like US zero-casualty bombs. He develops a new take on love that sees it as an adventure, and an opportunity for re-invention, in a constant exploration of otherness and difference that leads the individual out of an obsession with identity and self. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiberal, libertine and libertarian reductions of love to instant pleasure and non-commitment bite the dust as Badiou invokes a supporting cast of thinkers from Plato to Lacan via Karl Marx to form a new narrative of romance, relationships and sex - a narrative that does not fear love.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53935217770834,"sku":"9781846687792","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_ce9574a3-fd9a-4889-8a02-8fa8d88654d2.jpg?v=1783297270","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/in-praise-of-love","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
