The Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han

The Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han

Han argues that contemporary society's obsession with optimisation, self-improvement and curated sameness has made genuine erotic love — which requires encountering something truly other than oneself — increasingly difficult to sustain, replaced by narcissistic self-reflection dressed up as relationships.

Drawing on Hegel, psychoanalysis and his own theory of the achievement society, Han's compact essay diagnoses modern loneliness and dating culture as symptoms of a deeper philosophical shift, in the same terse, aphoristic style that made his The Burnout Society influential.

A short, incisive philosophical essay from the acclaimed cultural critic Byung-Chul Han.
