À propos d’amour
bell hooks
bell hooks treats love as a practice that people build. This feminist essay examines the obstacles patriarchal norms place in the way of relationships, drawing on moral philosophy and psychology.
Why it belongs here
The book asks what the word love commits us to in a relationship. It offers a theoretical companion to the personal accounts in Le Cœur sur la table: one route begins with an argument, the other with stories of people and their attachments.
Choose it for
Reading that leaves time to pause over a definition or an assumption. This is an essay about love, rather than a romantic plot or a set of fictional episodes.
A question to keep
When you say that you love someone, what actions do you mean? Try returning to that question after a chapter instead of treating love only as a feeling.
