Love, Ethics, and Authenticity: Beauvoir's Lesson in What It Means to Read
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 March 2020
Abstract
Beauvoir's distinction between romantic and authentic love offers us an opportunity for thinking through the complex relations among philosophy, reading, and love. If we accept her account of romantic love as a flawed, dependent mode of being, and her suggestion that an authentic love—one that engages maturely with the other—is possible, then we might take the risk of thinking of reading in these terms.
