A review by seasized
The Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han

listen. the bare life chapter was too much — too close, too real. i don’t know what to do with this information atm… we’ll be sitting on this one for a while.

fav quote:

Love means dying in the Other for Marsilio Ficino, too: “When you love me… and as I love you… I recover myself, lost in the first place by my own neglect of myself, in you, who preserve me.” […] The priority of the Other distinguishes the power of Eros from the violence of Ares.
