    Why We Can't Master the Madness of Love --and Why That's the Best Part

    A Workshop and Book Signing with Professor Mari Ruti

    the case for falling in love.


    Love is not made for the faint-hearted. Its not made for those who hesitate on the sidelines. You must be tremendously brave, tremendously audacious, to throw yourself into the eye of the hurricane. You must have incredible faith in your ability to mend a broken heart to risk falling into the arms of a lover whose motivations you might never fully understand. In a deep sense, passion is meant for the resilient for those who know that theyll nd their way back onto solid ground no matter how badly they fall. Its meant for those whore condent that loves disappointments wont ravage them beyond repair. And its meant for those who recognize that sometimes a massive love followed by a massive failure is more glorious than a timidly lived success. ~ Mari Ruti
    Mari Ruti holds degrees from Brown, Harvard, and the University of Paris. She is currently Associate Professor of Critical Theory at the University of Toronto, where she teaches contemporary theory, continental philosophy, psychoanalysis, and feminist and queer theory. She splits her time between the Department of English and the Sexual Diversity Studies Program. She is the author of four academic books: Reinventing the Soul: Posthumanist Theory and Psychic Life (Other Press, 2006); A World of Fragile Things: Psychoanalysis and the Art of Living (SUNY Press, 2009); The Summons of Love (Columbia University Press, 2011); and The Singularity of Being: Lacan and the Immortal Within (under review). The Case for Falling in Love is her rst mainstream book. This book was inspired by a course on romantic love that she taught at Harvard for four years, and that she sometimes still teaches at the University of Toronto. Although the book is centered on the psychological complexities of love, it also explores self-cultivation and personal growth; processes of mourning and inner transformation; the overcoming of loss, hardship, and suering; as well as the art of living a meaningful life.
