Features: Love and beauty are two major topics in philosophy, as well as two enduring dilemmas that every person encounters in their lifetime. Professor Tomonobu Imada, an artist and aesthetician at Tokyo University in Japan, is an internationally renowned aesthete. With his profound knowledge and deep understanding of both the past and present, he has recorded his thoughts on love and beauty after savoring the wisdom of previous generations. This book is a combined translation of two works by Professor Imada, "On Love" and "On Beauty." Although it is a philosophical work, it is written in an accessible and engaging manner. It poses questions about the things that happen around us yet are often overlooked, and it conducts meticulous examinations of the things we have all encountered but have not deeply explored. It guides readers to discover and understand the beauty and love in life.
