Is this the same book as Essays In Love? I've got that one on my kindle recently, but it's not featured here on Goodreads, and instead I can only find On Love, though the blurbs look similar enough?
Pegah Zandi Yes, both are the same and just some little differences are there due to the edition.

(See 'Essays in Existentialism' by Jean-Paul Satré, 'Essays in Persuasion' by John Keynes, 'Essays in Humanism' by Einstein etc etc)

I believe this is because they are essays which explore specific, smaller topics within that subject, rather than 'on' which would suggest a more meta exploration of the subject as a whole. Hope that helps! :)(less)
