Anders Nygrens studie om kärleksmotivet i den kristna historien var menad som en beskrivande genomgång av det mest centrala och utmärkande motivet i den kristna tron. Boken Den kristna kärlekstanken genom tiderna. Eros och agape utförde detta syfte med stor genomslagskraft. Den gjorde Nygren till ett världsnamn och boken blev ett standardverk på många teologiska utbildningar i Tyskland, England och inte minst USA. Även om den också fick ett stort genomslag i Sverige mötte Nygrens metod och tolkning kritik i ifrågasättandet av det som kom att kallas lundateologin. I boken menar Nygren att den kristna kärlekstanken definieras av agape-begreppet i kontrast till eros-tanken. Agape-tanken är spontan och omotiverad. Den skapar ett värde hos den älskade. Eroskärleken motiveras av värdet hos den älskade. Eros begär detta värde för sig själv och söker därmed sitt eget bästa. Dessa slutsatser grundar Nygren inte enbart i sin läsning av Nya testamentets texter utan han för det även i bevis genom studiet av centrala teologer i kyrkans historia. Inte minst betonar Nygren hur Martin Luther förnyade agapemotivet genom sin reformation. Nygrens tolkning har kritiserats och ett flertal teologer har lyft fram vikten av eros som komplement till agape-tanken. I den här nyutgåvan får äntligen en ny generation av läsare möjligheten att bilda sig en egen uppfattning kring en av 1900-talets klassiska texter om den mest centrala frågan i kristen tro: Vad innebär Guds kärlek?Förord av Joseph Sverker och introduktion av Susanne Wigorts Yngvesson

Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the Modern LibraryAnne Carson’s remarkable first book about the paradoxical nature of romantic loveSince it was first published, Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson’s lyrical meditation on love in ancient Greek literature and philosophy, has established itself as a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers. Beginning with the poet Sappho’s invention of the word “bittersweet” to describe Eros, Carson’s original and beautifully written book is a wide-ranging reflection on the conflicted nature of romantic love, which is both “miserable” and “one of the greatest pleasures we have.”

An argument that love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other.Byung-Chul Han is one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, a member of the new generation of German thinkers that includes Markus Gabriel and Armen Avanessian. In The Agony of Eros, a bestseller in Germany, Han considers the threat to love and desire in today's society. For Han, love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other. In a world of fetishized individualism and technologically mediated social interaction, it is the Other that is eradicated, not the self. In today's increasingly narcissistic society, we have come to look for love and desire within the “inferno of the same.” Han offers a survey of the threats to Eros, drawing on a wide range of sources—Lars von Trier's film Melancholia, Wagner's Tristan und Isolde,Fifty Shades of Grey, Michel Foucault (providing a scathing critique of Foucault's valorization of power), Martin Buber, Hegel, Baudrillard, Flaubert, Barthes, Plato, and others. Han considers the “pornographication” of society, and shows how pornography profanes eros; addresses capitalism's leveling of essential differences; and discusses the politics of eros in today's “burnout society.” To be dead to love, Han argues, is to be dead to thought itself. Concise in its expression but unsparing in its insight, The Agony of Eros is an important and provocative entry in Han's ongoing analysis of contemporary society.This remarkable essay, an intellectual experience of the first order, affords one of the best ways to gain full awareness of and join in one of the most pressing struggles of the day: the defense, that is to say—as Rimbaud desired it—the “reinvention” of love.—from the foreword by Alain Badiou

It is a widespread prejudice of modern, scientific society that "magic" is merely a ludicrous amalgam of recipes and methods derived from primitive and erroneous notions about nature. Eros and Magic in the Renaissance challenges this view, providing an in-depth scholarly explanation of the workings of magic and showing that magic continues to exist in an altered form even today. Renaissance magic, according to Ioan Couliano, was a scientifically plausible attempt to manipulate individuals and groups based on a knowledge of motivations, particularly erotic motivations. Its key principle was that everyone (and in a sense everything) could be influenced by appeal to sexual desire. In addition, the magician relied on a profound knowledge of the art of memory to manipulate the imaginations of his subjects. In these respects, Couliano suggests, magic is the precursor of the modern psychological and sociological sciences, and the magician is the distant ancestor of the psychoanalyst and the advertising and publicity agent. In the course of his study, Couliano examines in detail the ideas of such writers as Giordano Bruno, Marsilio Ficino, and Pico della Mirandola and illuminates many aspects of Renaissance culture, including heresy, medicine, astrology, alchemy, courtly love, the influence of classical mythology, and even the role of fashion in clothing. Just as science gives the present age its ruling myth, so magic gave a ruling myth to the Renaissance. Because magic relied upon the use of images, and images were repressed and banned in the Reformation and subsequent history, magic was replaced by exact science and modern technology and eventually forgotten. Couliano's remarkable scholarship helps us to recover much of its original significance and will interest a wide audience in the humanities and social sciences.

Den hyllade nyöversättningen av Ingvar Björkeson.
Iliaden skrevs av Homeros på 700-talet f.Kr och behandlar ett kort avsnitt av det trojanska kriget. Vi får följa hur grekernas tappraste hjälte – Achillevs – ”på sin väg över det blodiga slagfältet kommer till insikt om den mänskliga existensens villkor” som Sture Linnér skriver i sin inledning. Krigets grymhet skildras med ohygglig realism och etsande skärpa, och den outtalade men hela tiden märkbara pläderingen för fred känns inte mindre angelägen idag.
Ingvar Björkeson är vår tids främste nytolkare av de klassiska mästerverken, han har hyllats för sina översättningar av Dante, Lucretius, Petrarca, Pindaros, Propertius och Vergilius.

Ingvar Björkeson är vår tids främste nytolkare av de klassiska mästerverken. Hans moderna översättning av Odysséen hyllades då den 1995 utgavs för första gången.

Nox is an epitaph in the form of a book, a facsimile of a handmade book Anne Carson wrote and created after the death of her brother. The poem describes coming to terms with his loss through the lens of her translation of Poem 101 by Catullus “for his brother who died in the Troad.” Nox is a work of poetry, but arrives as a fascinating and unique physical object. Carson pasted old letters, family photos, collages and sketches on pages. The poems, typed on a computer, were added to this illustrated “book” creating a visual and reading experience so amazing as to open up our concept of poetry.

Den senkapitalistiska epokens extrema narcissism har förändrat våra liv i grunden, hävdar den sydkoreanske filosofen Byung-Chul Han. Det offentliga rummet domineras av bilder som uppmuntrar till sexuellt begär, samtidigt som våra privata beteenden blir alltmer inriktade på konsumtion - också av kärlek och intimitet. Här utvecklar Han sin kritik av den kommersiella sexualiseringen och pekar på ett alternativ. Eros besegrar depressionen. Byung-Chul Han, född 1959 i Seoul, Sydkorea, är verksam i Tyskland som kulturteoretiker och professor vid Universität der Künste i Berlin. Han har kallats »den digitala tidsålderns filosof« och har skrivit en rad uppmärksammade böcker om den kulturella norm som de nyliberala marknadskrafterna ger upphov till. Om »Trötthetssamhället« (2013): »Filosofisk pärla av koreanen Byung-Chul Han, bosatt i Berlin, som skriver kritiskt om det ständigt uppkopplade samhället. Ett måste för mobilmatta människor.« Karin Olsson, Expressen Om »I svärmen« (2014): »Att den koreanske kulturfilosofen Byung-Chul Han finns tillgänglig på svenska är ett rikedomsbevis.« Andreas Ekström, Sydsvenskan

Andre Green, a leading figure in contemporary psychoanalytic theory, deplores the absence of sexuality and the erotic from current psychoanalytic theory and practice. Instead, he demonstrates how human sexuality forms an 'erotic chain'. The work of analysis, he argues, consists in following the dynamic movements of the erotic process, by ascertaining its links with other aspects of the psyche.Green re-visits many previously neglected or ignored areas of psychoanalytic debate, including the complicated relationship between pleasure and reproduction, and the links between psychoanalysis, anthropology, and biology. He also embarks on extensive and radical re-readings of Klein, Winnicott, Lacan, and other major psychoanalytic thinkers.

Eros for the Other takes up the problem of how truth claims and ethical norms can survive the increasingly radical recognition of the historical, cultural, pluralistic, and often ideological character of human experience. Sharing with postmodernism a suspicion of totalizing forms of knowledge and practice, Wendy Farley parts with postmodernism in defending the possibility of truth and ethics. Arguing that reality occurs in the concrete existence of actual beings (human and otherwise), she develops an interpretation of the nature of knowledge as an eros for the other—as an openness to the distinctive beauties and fragilities of other creatures. Employing Plato, Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Iris Murdoch, Anne Carson, and representatives of Continental philosophy and feminist theory, Eros for the Other constructs an original argument for the interdependence of truth, ethics, and pluralism. Through dialogues with Western thought and its critics an original vision emerges of the way reason discerns reality, experiences beauty, and lives compassionately in the midst of the plurality of concrete, historical existence.
