The Nature of Love

By Emmanuel Berl

Book Overview

The Nature of Love by Emmanuel Berl is a philosophical exploration of the concept of love. Berl delves into the complexities of love, examining its various forms and manifestations. He explores the nature of romantic love, familial love, and platonic love, as well as the ways in which love can be both transformative and destructive. Berl draws on a range of philosophical and literary sources to illuminate his ideas, including Plato, Shakespeare, and Nietzsche. Throughout the book, Berl grapples with the question of what love truly is, and how we can come to understand and experience it more fully. The Nature of Love is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the nature of human relationships and emotions.1924. From the Author�������s Preface: To my mind, the word-love-indicates all those feelings presented to consciousness which are connected with external and personal objects. It signifies religious feeling, friendship, patriotism-in so far as a nation is a person-as well as the relation between a man and a woman. It is also contrasted with vaguer feelings whose cause we attributed to ourselves or to impersonal objects: such as the joy occasioned by fine weather or excellent health, the boredom resultant from a steady downpour of rain or from bodily infirmity, etc. My book came into being because of the need I felt to coordinate a series of experiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
