For those who believe in lifelong love and those who don't. \"If we all desire love, why is it so difficult to find it, and even more so to keep it?\" Starting from this question, philosopher John Armstrong tries to understand a feeling as unavoidable as it is perplexing, capable of bringing us happiness or plunging us into the greatest of misfortunes. Because, to tell the truth, we often act as if we don't know what to do with love, nor what the requirements are for enjoying a satisfying and lasting relationship. Drawing inspiration from scenes and characters in classical literature, without falling into clichés—no soulmates, perfect halves, or perpetual ecstasies—this essay reveals how history and culture shape our perception of love and desire, often distorted by narcissism, idealization, and intransigence. Intimate love is not a gift from heaven, but requires cultivating virtues such as generosity, patience, acceptance of the other, and, Armstrong emphasizes, imagination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"tienda-museothyssen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55537206526328,"sku":"FE22539","price":19.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/4221\/6345\/files\/FE22539_LOSREQUISITOSDELAMORTO.jpg?v=1776855527","url":"https:\/\/tienda.museothyssen.org\/en\/products\/los-requisitos-del-amor-una-filosofia-de-la-intimidad","provider":"tienda-museothyssen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
