Synopsis: The book invites its readers to explore the role erotic love, pleasure, and friendship play in crafting a good life. These topics are enduring themes that captures the heart of human existence, and have been the focus of many works of philosophy and literature. However, there remains scope for further examination. This book offers a compelling case to expand the exploration beyond the preponderance of white, male canonical figures that have dominated the field, in order to include an array of scholars that more accurately capture the diversity of humanity. It does so by drawing on Greek, Asian, Africana, Continental, and Feminist thinkers, and exploring a myriad of literary works to illustrate and interrogate the theories.
