Romantic love is a defining phenomenon in human existence, and an object of heightened interest for literature, art, popular culture, and psychology. But whatisromantic love andwhyis it typically experienced as so central?
Sharon Krishek's primary aim in this work is to explore the nature of romantic love through the philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard, and in doing so, to defend it as a moral phenomenon. She does so by developing a connection between love andselfhood, here explained in terms of one's distinct
individuality. To be a self, she claims, is to possess a "name," that is, an individual essence. It is when we love that we regard people by their names; we respond to who they truly are. Therefore, love is acorrespondencebetween essences: if Jane Eyre loves Edward Rochester, she responds to him
being "who he is," by virtue of her being "whosheis." The conception of being thus correspondent has important implications as to the moral and spiritual value of romantic love.
Relying on Kierkegaard's analysis of the self, of faith, and of love--even if sometimes in a way that departs from Kierkegaard's explicit position--Krishek explores these implications, construing romantic love as a desirable phenomenon, emotionally, morally, and spiritually.
