The Metaphysics of Love develops the existential metaphysics of St.
Thomas Aquinas, applying it to explore the ontological structure of
the human person. Published first in 1962, this book demonstrates
the fertility of Thomistic metaphysics and the enduring influence
of Thomism on Western philosophy. It uncovers the ecstatic
structure of human existence, in dialogue with philosophers ranging
from Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas, to Kant, Hegel, Heidegger,
Tillich, Zubiri, and Ortega y Gassett, as well as theologians and
historians Romano Guardini, Hilaire Belloc, and Eric Voegelin.
Philosophical and theological examinations of love have in various
ways raised the following question: how can love of self (eros) be
harmonized with love of others (agape)? These types of love
represent two drives, Wilhelmsen argues, that in the end must be
seen as aspects of existence itself. Moral and psychological
problems of love turn out to be manifestations of metaphysical
issues. While different cultures have emphasized one of these
drives or the other, a healthy culture will not completely forget
either. Cultures differ in the way they emphasize one or the other,
or flee from one or the other. These dimensions of human existence
provide the framework for a person's love of self, neighbour, and
God. This volume is part of Transaction's Library of Conservative
Thought series.
