Do you ever feel connected, yet deeply alone?
In a world brimming with endless connections and meticulously curated relationships, a quiet yet pervasive epidemic of loneliness and disconnection looms large. Despite our unprecedented ability to “connect” through various platforms, genuine and nourishing intimacy seems to slip further from our grasp, like sand through our fingers. This pervasive sense of isolation isn’t merely a personal shortcoming; it is a systemic condition, deeply rooted in the fabric of our modern society.
In this groundbreaking and thought-provoking work, Yang Burzhome delves deep into the pervasive modern malaise, diagnosing it as a profound pathology of love. This compelling book posits that our most essential human capacity—to love deeply and forge meaningful connections—has been systematically stifled, commodified, and distorted by the very structures that underpin contemporary life: capitalism, patriarchy, and systemic white supremacy.
“Pathology of Love” emerges as a captivating synthesis of sociology, existential philosophy, neuroscience, and radical politics, weaving together diverse threads of thought into a compelling narrative. Burzhome’s exploration invites readers to examine how these societal constructs have not only impacted individual relationships but have also shaped our collective understanding of love itself, ultimately challenging us to reconsider the core values that govern our lives today.It takes you on a journey to explore:
How capitalist logic turns relationships into transactions and love into a product to be consumed.
Why dating apps and social media, despite promising connection, often deepen our isolation and fuel narcissism.
The hidden burden of “emotional labor”—disproportionately carried by women—that keeps the economy running while depleting our spirits.
Our biological wiring for empathy and cooperation, and how it is hijacked for profit and social control.
The manufactured divisions of race and nation are weaponized to prevent solidarity and keep us powerless.
But this is not just a diagnosis. Pathology of Love is also a powerful prescription for healing. Drawing on the revolutionary traditions of Radical Humanism and Womanism, it argues that reclaiming love is our most vital act of political resistance. It shows how building solidarity economies, practicing mutual aid, and embodying love as a daily practice can help us dismantle oppressive systems and reconstitute a world based on authentic care and collective liberation.
