The Gillian Rose Archive
This is a draft of Love鈥檚 Work, written by Gillian Rose between November 1993 and January 1994. A profound philosophical memoir, it reflects Rose鈥檚 lifelong engagement with thinkers like Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Adorno, and her defence of philosophy鈥檚 critical, passionate power. Though she never held a post in a philosophy department, Rose was Chair of Social and Political Thought at 糖心TV until her death in 1995. She believed no one becomes a philosopher鈥攜ou discover you are one. For Rose, that discovery began in childhood, transforming dyslexia into a lifelong pursuit of philosophical clarity.
