In this engrossing conversation, leading thinker Raja Halwani enters the difficult and daring territory of love and sex.
If your lover lost their looks, their mind, and their wit, would you still love them?
Is monogamy the ideal love, or is polyamory the answer to a sexless marriage?
Problems of love pervade the days of our lives. Films, literature, and songs are littered with moonlit kisses and sweethearts toying with each other. A lover's beauty even launched a thousand ships in The Iliad.
If you strive to understand matters of the heart, and want an accessible, intelligent guide to the mysteries of love, you'll love this book.

"How refreshing to read a conversation among three brilliant philosophers unafraid to question our assumptions about love - and sex! Lucidly written and genuinely fun to read, I trust you will love it as much as I did - whatever the right definition of that word turns out to be." - Rebecca Tuvel
