É o primeiro livro que eu li desse autor coreano de nascença e alemão de moradia e de estudo. Eu achei interessante o panorama de autores de teoria, Agamben, Illouz, Socrates, Zizek, vários autores são usados para falar do Eros. Como no capitalismo, na nossa sociedade atual, não há espaço para o "atópico", o negativo. Como vivemos numa positividade, num mundo todo mensurável, consumível. E que também o amor tem se tornado feminino e que haveria uma dimensão da "coragem" quase guerreira que falta. Duvido que entendi tudo, mas foi interessante de ler.

sexuality! commodification of the body! eros as self-negation in the face of the other!

The first time I encountered this study was at University. As part of my philosophy course, obviously an elective, on my scientific career, I wondered if I was losing my time with this lecture. But, as time has passed and I get older, I tend to go back to it and reflect profoundly.

How my generation interacts with each other in matters of relationships and love is a complex house of cards. Every little detail tends to unfold the other. The way I can analyze and comprehend, even my own behavior at times, throughout this essay, is an exercise I keep challenging myself with, ever now and then.

Truly, recommended, especially any millennial or gen z.
