Love and Its Objects is a collection of essays on the philosophy of love by leading contributors to the discussion, including Aaron Ben-Zeev, Angelika Krebs, Aaron Smuts and Jan Bransen. Particular emphasis is placed upon the relation between love, its character, its appropriateness, and the objects toward which it is directed: romantic and erotic partners, persons, ourselves, strangers, non-human animals, and art. By focusing upon the different objects of love, and how the lover relates to them, the collection breaks new and important ground, pushing beyond the recent debates on reasons for love.
