May, Rollo - Love And Will (norton, 1969) May 2026

In Love and Will (1969), Rollo May addresses the modern crisis of apathy, arguing that the true enemy of love is not hate but a "numbing experience of powerlessness". The work introduces key existential concepts, including the "daimonic," Eros , and intentionality, urging a reintegration of will and love to overcome the apathy and fragmentation of contemporary life.
