Reviews
Dawne McCance, author of Derrida on Religion: Thinker of Differance:
How can a philosopher who is heir of the Western tradition write of love without exceeding the fixed boundary that tradition posits between logos and eros? Moving beyond the confines of a disembodied and dematerialized order of reason, Diane Enns opens this reflection on love to the rich philosophical terrain of fiction, memoir, and poetry, allowing passion—her own and that of such thinkers as Augustine, Arendt, Kristeva, Cixous, and Gillian Rose—to infuse and inform her study. This is, indeed, philosophy by another name.

Linell Secomb, author of Philosophy and Love: From Plato to Popular Culture:
Love in the Dark is engaging, developing fresh and bold perspectives that challenge the conventional interpretations of love.
Mari Ruti, author of The Call of Character: Living a Life Worth Living:
Diane Enns manages to strike a delicate balance between the intensely personal and the rigorously intellectual. She presents a profound meditation on love and its loss, passion and despair, risking everything and surviving despite everything. These are timeless, all-too-human topics.
