Philosophy of love is a branch of philosophical anthropology and ethics that attempts to explain the nature of love. The philosophical study of love involves the task of distinguishing between different types of personal love, exploring whether love exists and whether it can be justified, asking what the meaning of love is, and exploring the impact of love on the autonomy of both the lover and the loved.
The philosophy of love is an ancient science. Love is an eternal theme to which human thought has constantly turned. This is as important and complex a philosophical problem as the meaning of life, man, death and immortality. There is a deep inner connection between philosophy, thought (logos) and love (branch), which is reflected in the very term “philosophy”, which literally means “love of wisdom”.
Tracing the explication of love in classical and non-classical philosophical thought, it was impossible not to note the versatility of this explication depending on the cultural context. Love is interpreted differently not only depending on the teachings of a particular philosopher or a particular era, but also depending on the culture of different countries. This creates additional difficulties for optimistic attempts to build a single objective, internally consistent and comprehensive scientific concept of love. Human love is the result of the process of evolutionary development of the sensory-emotional sphere, in which a number of socio-historical and cultural factors played a significant role. Love is a selective, free and at the same time organically forced expression of the natural and spiritual depths of the individual. This phenomenon arises from the depths of the unconscious under the influence of unconscious motivating forces in certain situations, as the most acceptable explanation to oneself of the state of one’s physiological arousal. The philosophical explication of the phenomenon of love is associated with the heterogeneity of the theoretical foundations of love. Love should be distinguished from falling in love, dependence, physical or psychological conquest. The presence of a need in a person’s psyche or his awareness of the desire for love does not mean the ability to love.
According to modern researchers (philosophers, theologians, cultural scientists, religious scholars), the following areas of the philosophy of love are distinguished:
Confess your love...
It would seem that as long as humanity exists, love exists for as long.
During the period of evolution, a philosophy of love was formed. And, to confess your love, especially if this love is your first...
Even if you don’t go into much detail about the history of building relationships between a man and a woman. And, based only on the fact that the instinct of procreation initially prevailed, that is, the determining factor was sex, it is quite obvious that gradually both the man and the woman began to strive for something else to be present that would cause such feelings , like a desire to be close and not to part.
Already closer to the Middle Ages, the outlines of spiritual intimacy were formed, which differed from physiological intimacy. To put it more precisely, the desire for intimacy began to take shape taking into account the need for spiritual intimacy.
That is, there was a division between sex as such (physiological needs) and love, which included something more than just sex. It can be assumed that it was then that feelings such as, for example, jealousy began to form, determined by the desire to possess an object of desire, for which something incomparably greater than just physical attraction was experienced, individually. No rivals.
Omitting details, such as, for example, the emergence of the institution of marriage, when not only rights, but also responsibilities began to be defined, which also included the obligation to observe mutual fidelity to spouses, we can state the following.
By this point, since the status of both men and women had changed, different social groups had emerged, the declaration of love, in order to reunite the two lovers, had already acquired social significance.
Gradually they came to the conclusion that the prerogative to make a marriage proposal, that is, to declare love, belongs to men, and the choice (to accept or not to accept the proposal) remained with the woman.
Even now, when, it would seem, all the lines are blurred, conventions are ignored, “free love” is no longer rejected by society, moreover, society is much more tolerant of same-sex sexual relations, for some, declaring love is still just as difficult.
All the same trembling of the soul...
The right words are still lost...
Everything also dries up my throat...
Still the same fear of hearing in response a humiliating “I’m sorry, but let’s remain friends”...
Probably a lot can be changed...
Rivers can be turned back.
You can conquer outer space.
It is possible to create an artificial heart...
But love, like thousands of years ago, will make the soul tremble...
And, you can also create a personal video library...
But in order for the shooting to be of high quality, you may need on-camera light...
Dare, create, create history. Your love story...
“The cause of unhappy marriages is a lack of friendship, not a lack of love.”
Friedrich Nietzsche. "Beyond Good and Evil" (1886)
Friedrich Nietzsche proposed to the same woman three times - Lou Salome. Her refusals broke him, and aside from an occasional attraction to Wagner's wife, he finally abandoned his romantic aspirations after being rejected by Lou. However, he later emphasized that the only married philosopher among the greats was Socrates—the strongest argument against marriage for intellectuals that he could come up with.
Although Nietzsche lived alone for most of his sane life, he believed that marriage was reasonable for most people, but he questioned their approach to this issue. In his work “Human, All Too Human” (1878), he suggested that for men the option of several marriages in a row is more profitable. His (disturbingly sexist) position on women was that they preferred marriage and family life.

“Even logical positivists are capable of love”
Alfred Jules Ayer. "Profiles" (Kenneth Tynan, 1989)
The British positivist Alfred Jules Ayer held an honorary position as professor of logic at Oxford University. He had four marriages and three wives. Heartbroken after the death of his third wife, Ayer remarried his second, Alberta Wells, a year before his own death. He also had several affairs and at least one illegitimate daughter.
Despite all his affairs, Iyer defended the norms of romantic behavior. When he was 77, he saw heavyweight champion Mike Tyson hitting on a girl at a party; the philosopher scolded the young boxer and let his victim escape.

Middle Ages
In the patristic era, attention is directed to four types of this feeling: to the opposite sex, to a friend, to an enemy and to God. At the same time, Eastern patristics believes that the basis of human existence is feelings for the opposite sex, while Western patristics speaks of the primacy of love for God.
Love poetry is developing, which carries the cult of women and glorifies love for the opposite sex.
The main difference of this era is the relationship between love and mysticism or religion. Dante, Bernard of Clairvaux and Bonaventure worked on this problem in the Middle Ages.

New time
Feelings were studied by philosophers of the classical German school, such as: Immanuel Kant, Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel, Ludwig Feuerbach.
The Russian philosopher Lossky noted that people unconsciously strive to become the object of love of another person.
The history of the development of this concept is fickle, as is philosophy itself. It depends on the specific needs of society at a certain point in time, the level of cultural development and existing philosophical teachings.
