Rollo May's Love and Will (1969) is a landmark work of existential psychology, examining the tension and interdependence between two central human forces: love and will. Written during a period of rapid cultural and social transformation, the book addresses modern alienation, the mechanization of intimacy, and the psychological consequences of a society increasingly driven by technique rather than meaning. May draws on philosophy, psychoanalysis, and cultural observation to argue that love without will becomes sentimentality, while will without love devolves into manipulation - making their integration essential to authentic human experience. The work is structured in thematic sections exploring eros, sexuality, creativity, and the nature of human freedom, with references ranging from Freud and Kierkegaard to Plato and Schopenhauer. Its accessible yet intellectually rigorous style helped establish it as one of the defining psychological texts of the late 20th century. The book remains widely read for its insights into relationships, identity, and the psychological challenges of modern life. This copy is a later early printing, identified as the 6th printing (121,000 copies), with number line '6 7 8 9 0' on the copyright page. Published by W. W. Norton & Company in New York, with simultaneous Canadian issue noted, it retains the original dust jacket priced at $6.95. The jacket design is credited to Rosalind Lorber, and the volume carries along with Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 66-12799. Noted page numbers penned in on front flap. No other annotations or markings observed. Rollo May (1909-1994) was a leading American existential psychologist and psychotherapist whose work helped introduce existential and humanistic psychology to a broad audience. A colleague of figures such as Abraham Maslow and influenced by European existentialism, May is best known for The Meaning of Anxiety and Man's Search for Himself, both of which explore the psychological dimensions of freedom, creativity, and human responsibility.…
