An argument that love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other.Byung-Chul Han is one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, a member of the new generation of German thinkers that includes Markus Gabriel and Armen Avanessian. For Han, love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other. In The Agony of Eros, a bestseller in Germany, Han considers the threat to love and desire in today's society.
In today's increasingly narcissistic society, we have come to look for love and desire within the "inferno of the same."Han offers a survey of the threats to Eros, drawing on a wide range of sources--Lars von Trier's film Melancholia, In a world of fetishized individualism and technologically mediated social interaction, it is the Other that is eradicated, not the self.
