Summary:

'Love, Subjectivity, and Truth' interprets Marcel Proust's masterpiece as an inquiry into love and the meaning of life, especially the question of whether love can be trusted or ought to be transcended. Drawing upon both the existential tradition and the ancient arguments for skepticism, it displays and evaluates what 'In Search of Lost Time' can show us about how to navigate our emotional lives.
