«Le paradoxe amoureux» is the philosophical essay by Pascal Bruckner, published by Grasset in paperback (275 pages, in French).
The essay analyses the contradiction between love, which unites, and freedom, which separates, a central dilemma of today's couple. Bruckner traces the sentimental revolution from the eighteenth century, with the emancipation of marriage and eroticism, and concludes that the condition of men and women has progressed, but love has not: it only multiplies its paradoxes.
Essay first published in 2009. Pascal Bruckner also wrote «Le nouveau désordre amoureux» with Alain Finkielkraut.
Aimed at readers interested in the philosophy and sociology of love, couple relationships and the evolution of affective customs.
Pascal Bruckner is a French writer, one of the "New Philosophers" who came to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. Much of his work has been devoted to critiques of French society and culture.
