The ontology of love in Pedro Laín and the idea of exteriority
Abstract
This article reconstructs the love’s theory of Pedro Lain Entralgo in its double reference to phenomenological ontology and metaphysics of Zubiri. According Laín, love is the place in which intimate possession of reality take place and, at the same time, there occurs the immersion in the dynamism and openness of the same reality. The review of forms and degrees of love leads to finding in its highest form a vertical ontological openness towards metaphysical foundation. The article outlines the possibility of reinterpreting love as a horizontal relationship with immanent exteriority.Downloads
