What's the relationship between love and happiness? The answer is not as simple as you might think. In this episode, Carol and Jeevan talk to UBC alum Carrie Jenkins, a writer and professor of philosophy at UBC, about her research to understand love in all its forms. They discuss the limitations of romantic love, the stigma of singlehood, the realities of non-monogamy, and the social constructs that connect them all.LINKSContact CarolContact JeevanFrom Here ForwardCarrie Jenkins' website Carrie's WritingWhat Love Is and What It Could Be Sad Love: Romance and the Search for MeaningNon-Monogamy and HappinessUninvited : Talking Back To PlatoVictoria Sees It (00:00) - Introduction (03:14) - Western Views on Romantic Love (05:21) - Biological & Social Approaches to the Philosophy of Love (08:53) - Romantic Love, Capitalism, and Power (13:06) - What is Sad Love?

Traditionally, monogamy has been the form of romantic relationship which people have been assumed to want to pursue. But there has recently been a growing tendency among some to question this assumption, and instead to pursue polyamorous or other forms of romantic attachment. And this tendency has been reflected in philosophical debates too. Some have gone so far as to question whether monogamous relationships can be defended at all, prompting others to think more deeply about what the distinctive value of monogamous relationships, if any, might be. I spoke to Luke Brunning, a Lecturer in Applied Ethics at the IDEA Centre, and we explored some of this fascinating ethical territory. Luke Brunning is a Lecturer in Applied Ethics at the IDEA Centre, and part of the Centre for Love, Sex and Relationships. His main research interests are romantic relationships, the emotions, applied ethics and moral life. Luke has a book on Romantic Agency coming out in May 2024, and available to order here:https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=romantic-agency-loving-well-in-modern-life--9781509551521... and his previous book on monogamy is here: https://thamesandhudson.com/does-monogamy-work-9780500295694 He was interviewed about that book here: https://mashable.com/article/does-monogamy-work-luke-brunning-book-interview He's also written this article (freely available) on jealousy: https://aeon.co/essays/love-without-jealousy-consider-the-benefits-of-compersion Finally, he also recommends this book on monogamy by Carrie Jenkins:https://www.routledge.com/Why-Its-OK-to-Not-Be-Monogamous/Clardy/p/book/9781032449784 Ethics Untangled is produced by the IDEA Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.Twitter: @EthicsUntangledFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ideacetlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idea-ethics-centre/

Sean Illing talks with Carrie Jenkins about her new book Sad Love, and her call to rethink the shape and boundaries of romantic love. In this far-ranging discussion about the meaning of romantic love, Sean and Carrie discuss the connection between love and happiness, what we should expect (and not expect) from our romantic partners, and whether or not loving a person must entail that we love only that person.

Introduction I was told not to think too much about love. Obsess over it, let it dye the very fabric of my being: but do not think about it. Why, after all, would I want to overanalyse the magic and mystery? Would this not reduce a storybook to words and pages? I was told that I was incomplete and was to search for another who would make me whole. This search, I was promised, would lead me to a partner I would love and be happy with forever. And are love and happiness not required for a good life? Yet, these demands, these stories, and these questions feel restrictive and misleading. Why must I not think about what you say is so important? Why must I believe a story I have seen end in tears countless time? It is time we started taking control of love rather than letting love control us. There is no one size fits all approach given to us by nature: not everyone finds ‘the one', not everyone wants to find the one, and not all relationships need to last. Imagine the lives we could craft if we loved proactively, with honesty and freedom. If we all did this together, we could choose what we wanted and not be pressured into what we've been told is good. And given the importance of love, is this not worth a try, even if the magic fades? Contents Part I. Happily Ever After Part II. What Love Is Part III. Sad Love Part IV.

If only there was a word for that sense of anticipation and delight that comes with opening the cover of a new thriller, knowing you'll be spellbound for the next 300 pages. How do thriller writers create such suspense? Three different writers of mystery, thriller, and horror speak to how they create the propulsive books they do, in a conversation moderated by Rob Wiersema. Carrie Jenkins' debut is a queer psychological thriller following Victoria, paired with a police officer, as they try to locate her best friend while finding a miasma of sexism and isolation along the way. Silvia Moreno-Garcia's work is atmospheric from the first sentence. "Velvet Was the Night" is a “delicious twisted treat for lovers of noir,” set in 1970s Mexico City. Sam Wiebe is a beloved local writer and lauded thriller author. "Hell and Gone: A Wakeland Novel" explores the depths of Vancouver's criminal underworld. We're hooked.

More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/polyamory. In most if not all modern Western societies, monogamy is the dominant form of romantic relationship. In polyamorous or "open" relationships, however, each person is free to love multiple partners at once. Just as our friendships are non-exclusive, advocates of polyamory believe our romantic relationship should be too. So why do so many people find polyamory distacteful, or even despicable? Is it immoral to love more than one person at a time? Or is our society's commitment to monogamy simply a fossil of tradition that could one day be obsolete? The Philosophers welcome back Carrie Jenkins from the University of British Columbia, author of "What Love Is: And What It Could Be."

When it comes to love, the majority of us simultaneously feel as though we are experts and have no idea what we are doing. Carrie Jenkins is a writer and philosophy professor who explores the philosophy behind love and the impact of socially constructed romantic love.  Love is a subjective experience, and it is only by combining the theories of love as biology, phenomenology, chemistry, and magic that we can begin to piece together the puzzle of this conscious experience. Instead of thinking of love as a winning or losing game, or something that you are failing at, Carrie argues that love is a deliberate act that anyone can be a part of. Instead of putting the fairytale of romantic love on a pedestal, Carrie works to open up the guidelines in which we treat love in all realms of our lives. By putting the same status on other relationships in our lives, not just that of romance, you can separate the connection between romance and attachment to find the version of love that best suits you right now.  Combining science and philosophy to find the answers to the questions not fully understandable to us yet, Carrie is shining a light on the power of love and why you should stop romanticizing romance. How has the social construct around love and romance impacted your relationship with yourself and others? Share with us in the comments on the episode page.    In This Episode Explore the social construct of romantic love and the status it holds in society Decipher the biological, chemical, social and magical aspects of love  How to take control of your emotional life and be intentional with your relationships Tips to dismiss the romanticized fairytale of love and find what works for you Evaluate the origins of the word romance and its social implications   Quotes “Were all in the same boat in this, nobody has a pact definition of love, and I am actually quite suspicious of people who say that they do.” (4:22) “Just because there are hormones, it doesn't mean there isn't a conscious experience here. Someone living through the things. The real trick is not to try to choose between those, but to see how they could both be true at the same time. Then well really understand it.” (10:41) “The problem with the romantic bit of romantic love is that we put that one kind of great life on a pedestal. And we said ‘that's the really good life, and everything else is at best a kind of approximation, and if you don't measure up to the idea, maybe you did your best or you kind of failed’.” (16:47) “At some point, we have to start asking the question, am I really doing something wrong? Or is the message wrong or just not right for me?” (19:43) “Reality never looks like the fairy story, never has and never will, and yet we all hold ourselves to that as an ideal.” (25:02) “There are so many ways that the story can go, it's not fair on us that we only tell ourselves the one story, there are so many good stories.” (35:03)   Links Carrie Jenkins Website Follow Carrie on Twitter What Love Is and What It Could Be by Carrie Jenkins   Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook |Instagram

Myisha Cherry chats with philosopher Carrie Jenkins about the nature of love and happiness, can you have one without the other, what is love-crafting in private and public, and so much more. 

Dr. Marina Adshade, professor of the Economics at the University of British Columbia, welcomed me into her home to talk about sex robots and marriage! How might the recent technological changes affect the concept of marriage and relationships more broadly? If Sex Robots can fulfill you sexually, does that take sex compatibility out of the relationship equation? Does it open the door to conversations about non-monogamy? Marina started a course on the Economics of Sex, which turned into a blog, and turned into "Dollars & Sex" the book! More recently, she published an article in Slate called "How Sex Robots Could Revolutionize Marriage—for the Better" (Aug 14, 2018). By way of this article, we cover a full range of rabbit holes including: morality, economic factors of relational compatibility, defining love, why we marry, emotional labour and self-awareness. I am so grateful for Marina's time and honesty, and I love how personal we end up getting! What do you guys think? Get at us on Twitter @christinewild_ and @MarinaAdshade Here's the Slate article: slate.com/technology/2018/08/sex-robots-could-totally-redefine-the-institution-of-marriage I highly recommend you read and watch more of Marina's work on www.marinaadshade.com Here's the link to Carrie Jenkins that Marina references regarding defining love: www.carriejenkins.net Star Trek episode reference: The Perfect Mate, Star Trek: The Next Generation episode (season 5, episode 21) Thank you for your likes, favorites, subscribes, reviews and ratings!

The Philosophy of Love - Professor Carrie Jenkins speaks about how the philosophy of love can be seen as a conversation, also how she come to writing about polyamory from a theoretical perspective and if polyamory is just another lifestyle or something more political/ living polyamorously is making a political statement about ownership.

Denne episoden, spilt inn en søndagskveld over Skype, skulle egentlig handle om flere forskjellige emner, men på grunn av diverse omstendigheter endte vi opp med å fokusere først og fremst på en ting: å diskutere hvordan man diskuterer ernæring og kostholdsråd. For de som har hørt noen tidligere episoder kommer kanskje ikke dette som en overraskelse, men vi forsøker her å snakke mer om hvordan man snakker sammen. Pål har vært ute og raslet med sablene (les innlegg her, der finner du også lenke til andre relaterte innlegg), men Lars er ikke alltid helt fornøyd med Påls fremgangsmåte. Dermed ender vi opp med å diskutere argumentasjonsstil, forskjellige lesninger av forskningen, og som alltid dukker det stråmenn opp i en rekke biroller. Målet vårt med denne episoden, som med podkasten generelt, er ikke å endelig knesette en posisjon, men å finne ut hvordan vi bedre kan snakke om forskjellige tema. Så om du tar deg tid til å høre episoden, la oss gjerne høre hva du synes, kom med egne forslag og la oss få vite på hvilke områder vi ennå har langt å gå. I blant kan det kanskje virke litt påtatt å erklære seg åpen for fornuftige innvendinger og klar for å endre mening hvis det ikke ser ut til å skje. Dette er nok delvis sant, men det er også viktig å understreke at de fleste endringer i egne oppfatninger foregår såpass sakte at man selv ikke er dem bevisst. Eller? Uansett, takk for at du hører på. Korreksjon: Jeg sier i episoden at The Young Turks er en sekulær tyrkisk gruppe, noe som bare er helt idiotisk feil! Vet ikke hvor hjernen min var i akkurat det øyeblikket, men i alle fall tydeligvis ikke på post. The Young Turks er en amerikansk progressiv youtube-kanal, grunnlagt av blant annet Cenk Uygur, som intervjuer Sam Harris i den samtalen vi nevner.

In this episode I speak with Carrie Jenkins, a writer and philosopher at the University of British Columbia. We talk about philosophy’s status today and discuss the idea of citizen philosophy. We also talk about polyamory, and her book What Love Is: And What It Could Be, which details her theory about the dual nature of love.

Episode 2: "Love", featuring writers and UBC professors Mandy Len Catron and Carrie Jenkins.

We need philosophers and the rigor they bring to the discussions that inform our daily lives. It's critical–particularly in our current political climate–for all of us to consider what we mean by the words we use and the concepts we refer to. So what about love? What does that mean, really? To ask that question properly (but never entirely answer it), we turn to Dr. Carrie Jenkins, Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, and a Professor at the Northern Institute of Philosophy, University of Aberdeen. Dr. Jenkins just released a book called: What Love Is And What It Could Be. It’s a delightful read, and I highly suggest you pick it up.

Carrie Jenkins is a philosopher and author of the new book: What Love Is "Aside from being the title of many a popular love song, this is one of life's perennial questions. In What Love Is, philosopher Carrie Jenkins offers a bold new theory on the nature of romantic love that reconciles its humanistic and scientific components. Love can be a social construct (the idea of a perfect fairy tale romance) and a physical manifestation (those anxiety- inducing heart palpitations); we must recognize its complexities and decide for ourselves how to love. Motivated by her own polyamorous relationships, she examines the ways in which our parameters of love have recently changed-to be more accepting of homosexual, interracial, and non-monogamous relationships-and how they will continue to evolve in the future. Full of anecdotal, cultural, and scientific reflections on love, What Love Is is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand what it means to say "I love you." Whether young or old, gay or straight, male or female, polyamorous or monogamous, this book will help each of us decide for ourselves how we choose to love." Carrie SI Jenkins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and a nationally elected Canada Research Chair. Jenkins received her BA, MPhil and PhD degrees from Trinity College, Cambridge, where she read philosophy in the analytic tradition shaped by Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and GE Moore. She previously held academic posts at the University of St Andrews, the Australian National University, and the University of Michigan. She tweets @carriejenkins.

We have a regular attendance of about 30 people at our Sunday meetings (rather than the small number who RSVP on Meetup).

Carrie Jenkins‘ new book is a model for what public philosophy can be. Beautifully written, thoughtful, and compellingly and carefully argued, What Love Is: And What it Could Be (Basic Books, 2017) invites us to think openly and critically about romantic love: what it is, what it could be, and why it is crucial for us to ask these questions and come to our own answers. Engaging the work of bell hooks, Bertrand Russell, Simone de Beauvoir, and more, Jenkins argues that love has a dual nature both social and biological and the book develops that position while offering a critical perspective on the arguments and evidence proposed by scientists, philosophers, and other interlocutors on whose work Jenkins builds. Romantic love is in the process of changing, suggests Jenkins, and the norm of monogamy could be one of the features in flux. The work offers a critique of amatonormativity including the assumed norm of monogamous dyads as the basis of romantic relationships while leaving readers with a take-home message that is simultaneously generous, bold, and inspiring: think about love for yourself.

Love is life’s biggest virus of the mind. We live and die for it. Make major decisions because of it. And completely don’t understand it. “It’s complicated” is an understatement. We’re handed a script about what love really means and should be from the time we’re children. Our fairytales are pretty clear: you’ll meet someone and be swept off your feet, have babies and live happily ever after. But by the time you’re in y our 30s if this hasn’t happened for you, people think you’re misdirected or in the closet. Then by your 40s, the jury is out and clearly something’s wrong with you. Even if you did get married, where the hell are the kids? Let’s face it, we’re all following the same recipe for love— even if it doesn’t fit. For some reason, our society can scrutinize all sorts of once-sacred things, like monarchies, the laws of the universe, human rights, god— once we objectively analyzed and understood these things, it allowed us to control our own decisions and today we have room for a spectrum of different practices. But when it comes to romantic love, that’s an unquestionable magic that should never be put under a microscope. Or should it? This week’s guest thinks so. Carrie Jenkins is a Professor of Philosophy and author of “What Love Is: And What It Could Be” which unpicks the conceptual, ideological, and metaphysical tangles that get in the way of understanding what love is. We talk about how dangerous the single, normalized view of romantic love really is as well as how we may be in the brink of a social movement around new, less traditional relationships like polyamory. Could it be the next great social movement? Either way, I know you’ll have a different point of view about the big L word, after listening to this episode.

Multiamory is very excited to sit down with philosopher Carrie Jenkins, author of the newly released book What Love Is and What It Could Be. Carrie has been polyamorous for a number of years, and after having her relationships accused of not embodying "real love," she was inspired to get to the bottom of the age old question: what is love? In this episode, we deconstruct our preconceived ideas of love and commitment, and also why it is important for people in non-monogamous relationships to examine the nature of romantic relationships.If this show is helpful to you, consider joining our amazing community of like-minded listeners at patreon.com/Multiamory.

Is romantic love a biological function brought on by millennia of evolutionary change? Or, is it a product of social construction? Maybe it is a bit of both? Carrie Jenkins, philosopher and professor at UBC will be joining AuntieSocial to have a metaphysical discussion about just what this romantic love thing is … and what it could be.For more information about Carrie Jenkins and the topic of Episode 18, visit http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode18/
