Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of the Lost Eros is a meditation on love and its challenges in our modern times. This book pairs literary and philosophical quotations from many renowned authors with the author’s own reflections trying to create a framework for contemplation on the predicament of love today. What is love, really? What is the cosmic Eros that ‘moves the sun and the other stars’? Is this the same love that forms the essence of our deepest being? Is falling in love a form of madness? Is love blind or visionary? Does it inevitably cause suffering? And what about marriage – must we stay together at all costs until death do us part? What are the challenges of sexuality today? What distinguishes erotic art from pornography? These are some of the questions this essay seeks to explore, offering answers that are necessarily incomplete, while hoping to inspire readers to gain their own insights into these inexhaustible topics. Mystics of the major spiritual traditions have always maintained that our spiritual essence is love and that we ultimately cannot lose it. Yet, many modern individuals feel that genuine love is missing from their lives. This book aims to make a modest contribution to rediscovering some of the lost Eros that we all so ardently long for.
