I'm teaching Harry Frankfurt's wonderful book
The Reasons of Love this week, and the last chapter has a very interesting discussion of self-love. It would help me out if you took the poll to your right. I won't pollute your response by explaining what Frankfurt says, or why the question interests me. More about that after the poll closes. I will read nothing into a "yes" answer or a "no" answer. If you say "no," I won't infer that you hate yourself. If you say "yes" I won't infer that you're vain. Keep it simple: if "I love myself" is true as uttered by you, say "yes." If not, say "no".

ReplyDeleteGiven my sensitivity to your opinions, and your power over me, that really is very sweet of you!
