Contents:
Introduction: Why a phenomenology of love and hate? The logical underpinnings of love and hate ; New resources made available by recent Husserlian scholarship ; Phenomenology is suited to handling cross-disciplinary topics such as love and hate ; An explanation of the book's plan -- 1. Personal love. Husserl on 'pre-objective' strivings ; The notion of 'contact' and its relation to personal love ; The notion of 'understanding-following-after-another' and the development of personal love ; Personal love and the 'truth' of the beloved ; Personal love as 'hyper-subjective' ; Personal love as a source of value -- 2. Sexual love. Sexual desire, unlike personal love, objectifies, in so doing, it modulates the ordinary part/whole structure of perceptual objects ; Sexual parts and pieces as objects organized by touch ; Nudity and the temporality of sexual love ; Husserl on wholes and parts ; An explication of a notorious depth psychological doctrine ; The contrast between personal and sexual love ; An extreme conflict between personal and sexual love: the incest taboo ; Summary -- 3. Hatred. Hatred in general is a 'passion' ; Marginal types of hatred ; Individual-focused hatred - a classic illustration ; The development of group-focused hatred from individual-focused hatred ; An intimation of the strange logic of group-focused hatred ; Husserl on the opposition between 'homeworlds' and 'alienworlds' and the emergence of the logical exclusive 'either-or' in group hatred ; The logic of generalization in monolithic group-focused hatred ; The generalization in violent group-focused hatred is 'pseudo-eidetic' ; A further indication of the two logical underpinnings of hatred: removal from the ladder of abstraction ; A paradigm case of the logical underpinnings of group-hatred: the 1995 Oklahoma Federal Building bombing and The Turner Diaries ; Monolithic group-hatred, sadly, does not imply psychopathology ; Violent hatred's shadow: prejudicial discrimination ; Two benign forms of group hatred: civil hatred and 'Philosophic misanthropy' -- 4. Conclusion: The logical underpinnings of love and hate. The logical complement of personal love, its perfections and perils ; The logic of wholes and parts and the 'scandal' of sexual love ; The confinement of hatred into the logic of an exclusive 'either/or' ; The 'either/or' logic of hatred suggests a threefold ; Approach to its abatement.
