În volumul Filosofia Erosului autorul luptă, asemenea lui Don Quijote, cu morile de vânt ale societăţii, mutilată de ipocrizie, ale moralei care sufocă sentimentele curate, consubstanţiale omului, și ale politicii dezumanizate.

Pound's barbed wit is displayed here to its best advantage. But more than a simple diversion, this volume presents an important but neglected aspect of the prime shaper of modern poetry in English.
