Philosophers have long been interested in love and its general role
in morality. This volume focuses on and explores the complex
relation between love and justice as it appears within loving
relationships, between lovers and their wider social context, and
the broader political realm. Special attention is paid to the
ensuing challenge of understanding and respecting the lovers’
personal autonomy in all three contexts. Accordingly, the essays in
this volume are divided into three thematic sections. Section I
aims at shedding further light on conceptual and practical issues
concerning the compatibility or incompatibility of love and justice
within relationships of love. For example, are loving relations
inherently unjust? Might love require justice? Or do love and
justice belong to distinct moral domains? The essays in Section II
consider the relation between the lovers on the one hand and their
broader societal environment on the other. Specifically, how
exactly are love and impartiality related? Are they compatible or
not? Is it unjust to favor one’s beloved? Finally, Section III
looks at the political dimensions of love and justice. How, for
instance, do various accounts of love inform how we are to relate
to our fellow citizens? If love is taken to play an important role
in fostering or hindering the development of personal autonomy,
what are the political implications that need to be addressed, and
how? In addressing these questions, this book engenders a better
understanding both of conceptual and practical issues regarding the
relation between love, justice, and autonomy as well as their
broader societal and political implications. It will be of interest
to advanced students and scholars working on the philosophy of love
from ethical, political, and psychological angles.
