Penned by distinguished Thomist scholar Frederick Wilhelmsen, this book explores the ontology of the human person, placing it in dialogue with philosophers ranging from Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas to Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. Wilhelmsen ultimately narrows his discussion to an examination of human love, particularly in regard to the relationship between love of self (\u003cem\u003eeros\u003c\/em\u003e) and love of others (\u003cem\u003eagape\u003c\/em\u003e). For Wilhelmsen, many of the problems societies face are an extenuation of the struggle between \u003cem\u003eeros \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eagape\u003c\/em\u003e. While recognizing that certain cultures will manifest these two tendencies differently, Wilhelmsen posits that a truly healthy society will acknowledge the importance of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven in this relatively brief work, Frederick Wilhelmsen shows himself to be a lucid metaphysician and convincing teacher. Maintaining a lyrical style alongside a whole host of philosophical and theological voices, \u003cem\u003eThe Metaphysics of Love \u003c\/em\u003eis a standout contribution to the vast Thomistic tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 162\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45432253481062,"sku":"9781621388623","price":32.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/oazhAwjTQY9781621388623.webp?v=1775829007","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-metaphysics-of-love-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
