Love and Responsibility Session III: Metaphysical Analysis of Love



This session, recorded in on October 13th, 2012 in Hythe, Kent, UK, we discuss the three essential elements of love between man and woman which Pope John Paul II explores in chapter two of Love and Responsibility: Love as Attraction (philo), Love as Desire (eros), and Love as Goodwill (Agape).  We go on to look at how sympathy (syn pathos) may break forth into camaraderie (storge), but if left on its own is empty.  Finally we look at how this love ought to mature into betrothal if it is true.

We also discuss what to do if you find yourself attracted to someone and desiring them if it is not in theirs or your best interest, and how desiring the good for the other can help you live chastity.  We also discuss how loving someone for a specious good or apparent good may be a false, or evil, love.
