Lecture by Darío Sztajnszrajber

What if love were impossible?

Querétaro 2026, 

Darío Sztajnszrajber (Argentina) is something of a rock star of philosophy. With his accessible, direct style, he has brought philosophy to large audiences, television and radio. He has captivated non-specialist audiences and is a populariser of both the great philosophical questions of history and contemporary ideas. In El amor es imposible, he dismantles normative romantic love in eight theses. The philosopher questions concepts such as the soul mate or ideal partner, and invites us to rethink heartbreak as part of the desire for the impossible.
