Love Has To Be Reinvented | Srecko Horvat | TEDxBrussels

How will love look like in the future? The Croatian philosopher Srećko Horvat, author of "Radicality of Love" (Polity Press, 2015), warns us that this future is already here - and it is rather dystopian. New trends such as "outsourcing" of dating and even "masturdating", Grindr and Tinder, signal a penetration of cold economic reasoning into our most intimate lifes. A new pandemic of narcissism is not helping us to find or preserve love, instead of that Horvat claims that Love has to be radically reinvented. Srecko Horvat, Croatian philosopher, described by the German weekly Der Freitag as “one of the most exciting voices of his generation”. He has published more than 10 books in more than 10 different languages, most recently The Radicality of Love (Polity Press, 2015), What Does Europe Want? (Columbia University Press, 2014) co-written with Slavoj Zizek, and Welcome to the Desert of Post-Socialism (Verso, 2015). His texts have been published by The Guardian, Al Jazeera and New York Times. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
