In a world brimming with endless connections and meticulously curated relationships, a quiet yet pervasive epidemic of loneliness and disconnection looms large. Despite our unprecedented ability to "connect" through various platforms, genuine and nourishing intimacy seems to slip further from our grasp, like sand through our fingers. This pervasive sense of isolation isn't merely a personal shortcoming; it is a systemic condition, deeply rooted in the fabric of our modern society.
In this groundbreaking and thought-provoking work, Yang Burzhome delves deep into the pervasive modern malaise, diagnosing it as a profound pathology of love. This compelling book posits that our most essential human capacity-to love deeply and forge meaningful connections-has been systematically stifled, commodified, and distorted by the very structures that underpin contemporary life: capitalism, patriarchy, and systemic white supremacy.
"Pathology of Love" emerges as a captivating synthesis of sociology, existential philosophy, neuroscience, and radical politics, weaving together diverse threads of thought into a compelling narrative. Burzhome's exploration invites readers to examine how these societal constructs have not only impacted individual relationships but have also shaped our collective understanding of love itself, ultimately challenging us to reconsider the core values that govern our lives today.It takes you on a journey to explore:
