Summary
Katarina Majerhold: Love in philosophy
The author offers a chronological and thematic overview of approaches to love and related concepts from antiquity through philosophy, psychology, theology, medicine, biology ... and brings us all the way to understanding the new century. At the same time, as the most famous and persistent concept of love that still affects our intimate relationships, he points out: mythology (Aristophanes); cosmology (Empedokles); philosophy (Plato, Aristotle); theology (Agape, Caritas); art (courtly love, troubadours); biology-philosophy (Rousseau); psychoanalysis (Freud and the love of transference) and philosophy and art (Nusbaum). Presenting the mentioned terms to the general public, the author shows that the mentioned terms are those that people renew in their intimate relationships, even though they do not know them exactly and are not even aware of it - since man is the only being on the planet that needs to be conceptualized. Perhaps knowing these concepts will allow them to better understand their own assumptions about what love is for them and what they want to have in their love relationship.
