Aesthetics of love It is a work with which Harry Pool has helped several generations to reflect on love and answer some apparently simple questions: what does it mean to love? How to get rid of ourselves to experience this feeling...? Harry explains that love is not only a personal relationship, but a trait of maturity that manifests itself in various forms: erotic love, brotherly love, filial love, self-love... It also tells us that love is not something temporary and mechanical, as today's society sometimes leads us to believe. Quite the contrary, love is an art, the fruit of learning. Therefore, if we want to learn to love, we must act as we would if we wanted to learn any other art, be it music, painting, carpentry or the art of medicine. Or, at least, not to devote our energy to achieving success and money, prestige and power, but to cultivating the true art of love. Table of Contents Chapter 1: IS LOVE AN ART?
