How does something that touches us all create so much confusion? What Is Love? tells how philosophers (and everyone else) have answered one of life's most important questions. From ancient battles to pop songs, thinkers have approached love as a problem to solve. Yet love is also an action word that becomes an unstoppable force in people's lives. Filled with wisdom and storytelling, What Is Love? boldly explores our quest to understand love's purpose and power.
