"Solovyov's book, I would dare say, IS the philosophy of love.
Solovyov's arguments are engaging, to say the least: engaging the
intellect, but also the depths of the reader's being. You can't say
that about many books. The highest praise I can offer is that The
Meaning of Love is the only modern book I know of that is worthy of
its subject in every respect."-David Fiedler, Gnosis Magazine "The
meaning and worth of love as a feeling is that it really forces us,
with all our being, to acknowledge for another the same absolute
significance that, because of the power of egoism, we are conscious
of only in our own selves. Love is important, not only as one of
our feelings but as the transfer of all our interest in life from
ourselves to another, as the shifting of the very center of our
lives...." "The meaning of human love, speaking generally, is the
justification and salvation of individuality through the sacrifice
of egoism. On this general basis we can also ... explain the
meaning of sexual love" (Vladimir Solovyov) What is the meaning of
love's intense emotion? Solovyov points to the spark of divinity
that we see in another human being and shows how this "living ideal
of Divine love, antecedent to our love, contains in itself the
secret of the idealization of our love." According to Solovyov,
love between men and women has a key role to play in the mystical
transfiguration of the world. Love, which allows one person to find
unconditional completion in another, becomes an evolutionary
strategy for overcoming cosmic disintegration.
