The Philosophy of Love: Bridging Western, Eastern, and Arabic Thought - Paperback
Description
by Joyce Åkesson (Author)
Love has long occupied a central and intricate position in philosophical inquiry, captivating thinkers across diverse intellectual traditions from antiquity to the modern era. Philosophers in Western, Eastern, and Arab traditions have not merely endeavored to categorize love into its various forms-be it romantic (eros), platonic (philia), or selfless (agape)-but have also interrogated its ethical dimensions, metaphysical foundations, and existential import. As both an intensely subjective phenomenon and a universal human preoccupation, love serves as a profound locus of philosophical reflection, continually generating rich discourse on its essence, moral weight, and transformative power in shaping the human experience.
Joyce Akesson is the author of "The Many Faces of Joy: Happiness in Philosophy, Religion, Literature and Art", "Arabic Love Poetry from the Desert: Majnun Leyla" and many books of Arabic linguistics..Care
