Topic: “Sad Love: Romance and the Search for Meaning” by Carrie Jenkins

Carrie is a professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia and author of “Sad Love: Romance and the Search for Meaning. She describes herself as am philosophy’s crazy ex-girlfriend and works at the intersection of academic philosophy and the creative arts.

From Carrie, on Sad Love:

Sad Love furthers the work of What Love Is in critiquing and dethroning culturally dominant romantic ideologies of love, especially the idea that love is defined by certain kinds of feelings. I have stopped asking how to be happy ever after in love. That question doesn’t interest me anymore.
