For centuries, popular writers and respected scholars have written about and analyzed the phenomenon of love without exhausting its potential for contemporary debate. By representing the three major traditions in the philosophy of lovePlatonic eros, Christian agape, and Aristotelian philiaeditor Alan Soble has not only examined the intellectual problem of what love is, but has designed a dialogue among the three traditions in genuine philosophical style.Eros is acquisitive, egocentric or even selfish; agape is a giving love. Eros is an unconstant, unfaithful love, while agape is unwavering and continues to give despite ingratitude. Eros is a love that responds to the merit or value of its object; while agape creates value in its object as a result of loving it... Finally, eros is an ascending love, the humans route to God; agape is a descending love, Gods route to humans... Philia is caught between eros and agape.From the Introduction to Eros, Agape and PhiliaISSUES EXPLORED: What is the state of love today as seen through the eyes of Plato, Aristotle, and Paul? How do relations between the sexes illustrate the difficulties of love?
