Analyzing Love is concerned with four basic and neglected problems concerning love. The first is identifying its relevant features: distinguishing it from liking and benevolence and from sexual desire; describing the objects that can be loved and the judgements and aims required by love. The second question is how we recognize the presence of love and what grounds we may have for thinking it present in any particular case. The third is that of relating it to other emotions such as anger and fear, and, more generally, deciding where love stands in the contrast between emotions and attitudes. Finally, the book examines how we justify our loves: can we have, and do we need, reasons for loving? What types of judgement are appropriate to love? Can we criticize a lover for his or her choices?

"Le caractère intime, spécifique, purement subjectif de l'expérience amoureuse la rend presque incommunicable. La gageure est que rien ne la destine par proposer quelque modèle, à offrir ses conseils, à fournir des recettes. Sur le mode du spectacle, elle ne sert donc à rien. Dans le même temps, l'authenticité à laquelle elle atteint aisément s'exprime selon des tonalités, des accords, des dissonances dont peut tirer usage quiconque s'attache à composer le plus harmonieusement possible les modulations de sa vie amoureuse. Le drame originel de la vie amoureuse, c'est qu'elle n'existe pas, si ce n'est en marge d'une existence dévolue à cette activité fondamentale qu'est la quête de la subsistance. Réduite à en passer par les filières bestiales de la prédation, que transcende la lutte quotidienne pour le pouvoir et le profit, elle ne nous échoit que dénaturée. Ainsi réinventer l'amour relève-t-il de la volonté subversive de dépasser la civilisation marchande en fondant sur l'être véritablement humain une civilisation vivante".

Frisbee Sheffield argues that the Symposium has been unduly marginalized by philosophers. Although the topic, eros, and the setting at a symposium have seemed anomalous, she demonstrates that both are intimately related to Plato's preoccupation with the nature of the good life, with virtue, and how it is acquired and transmitted. For Plato, analyzing our desires is a way of reflecting on the kind of people we will turn out to be and on our chances of leading a worthwhile and happy life. In its focus on the question why he considered desires to be amenable to this type of reflection, this book explores Plato's ethics of desire.
