Richard White explores this elusive concept as a profound path of self-overcoming - a turning away from narcissism, fear, and isolation toward greater openness, receptivity, and compassion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReimagining Love\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds in four movements, through the fear of love as expressed in Stoicism and the modern achievement-oriented self; the awakening of love described by Plato, J.W. von Goethe, Rainer Maria Rilke, and others; the work of love and the cultivation of its virtues; and love as active compassion, a way of engaging with the world attentively, courageously, and non-possessively. White unites theory and practice, arguing that personal love can open outward into universal compassion, echoing the Buddhist ideal of \u003cb\u003ekaru\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eṇ\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eā\u003c\/b\u003e - the selfless embrace of another's suffering. Central to this vision is love's spiritual dimension. It is not religious as such, but a source of meaning grounded in our sense of connection to something greater: nature, truth, justice, or the sacred itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with clarity and quiet authority, \u003ci\u003eReimagining Love\u003c\/i\u003e offers a meditation on the ethical and existential significance of love for denizens of a disenchanted world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard White is professor of philosophy at Creighton University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48631978459385,"sku":"9780228027904","price":33.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/q-eg3l-i9s9780228027904.webp?v=1783124366","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/reimagining-love-philosophy-and-the-heart-of-modern-life-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
