Kant on Love (Kantstudien-Ergänzungshefte; Volume 196) by Pärttyli Rinne - 2018

De Gruyter, 2018. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Revising his 2016 PhD dissertation at the University of St. Andrews, Rinne presents a systematic, exegetical, and comprehensive study of the concept of love in the work of German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). Love is often considered to be among the most important yet perplexing of all human phenomena, he says, and Kant is generally thought to be among the greatest philosophers in the Western tradition, so he finds it remarkable that no one has done this study before. He covers self-love, sexual love, love of God, love of neighbor, and love in friendship. (2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
