Love has been the subject of much fascination. It is indeed one of
those things which elude us in many ways. The long-lasting
disagreement over love's nature is unsurprising. In light of this,
a piecemeal approach to love is in order. Instead of asking what
love is down the line, we might need to investigate its various
features and its connection to other things. The Rationality of
Love addresses the question whether love belongs, paradoxically
enough, to the realm of reason, whether love belongs to the class
of responses, such as belief and action, that admit of norms of
justification and rationality. Are there normative reasons to love
someone? Can it be an appropriate or fitting response to an
individual? Can it be rational? Or is love, like perceptual
experiences, sensations and urges, the sort of thing we just have
and for which we cannot be rationally criticizable? Hichem Naar
provides a sustained defense of the rationality of love. There are
reasons to love others, reasons provided by the unique value of
each individual. This will in turn rule out popular accounts of
love which deny love's rationality and vindicate those accounts
that make room for it. Drawing on various domains of philosophical
inquiry such as the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of
normativity, and epistemology, Naar provides a careful assessment
of the various positions in the debate over reasons for love and
develops his own answer to the normative question about love.
