Reseña del libro "Love and Lies: An Essay on Truthfulness, Deceit, and the Growth and Care of Erotic Love (en Inglés)"
A provocative and unsettling look at the nature of love and deceptionIs it possible to love well without lying? At least since Socrates's discourse on love in Plato's Symposium, philosophers have argued that love can lead us to the truthabout ourselves and the ones we love. But in the practical experience of erotic loveand perhaps especially in marriagewe find that love and lies often work hand in hand, and that it may be difficult to sustain long-term romantic love without deception, both of oneself and of others. Drawing on contemporary philosophy, psychoanalysis and cognitive neuroscience, his own personal experience, and such famed and diverse writers on love as Shakespeare, Stendhal, Proust, Adrienne Rich, and Raymond Carver, Clancy Martinhimself divorced twice and married three timesexplores how love, truthfulness, and deception work together in contemporary life and society. He concludes that learning how to love and loving well inevitably requires lying, but also argues that the best love relationships draw us slowly and with difficulty toward honesty and trust. Love and Lies is a relentlessly honest book about the difficulty of love, which is certain to both provoke and entertain.
