Love today is influenced by our past, for good and bad
19. September 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The flow of this book is from the first recorded Love stories to later stories and writings on Love. The chapters and stories exemplify the representative ideals of Love thru the ages. Many were fascinating and some effort was made to include dual views of the times. There are the dualing ideals of Plato's Platonic Love and a 'how to pick up woman' tome for barbaric noblemen for instance.
The book is fascinating with many stories and ideas on love and the spirit of love from earliest written records. The oldest love story of young lovers succumbing to their infatuation is true today. Romance and Chivalry emerge. Love for God, Wife and children are idealized. Love is spoken of in many of it's forms: Transendental, spiritual, physical, for whom it is directed and more.
Love has always been a changing story with many ways to look at it. Not all I liked, especially when the early Christian theologians got a hold of it. A chapter on Saint Thomas Aquinas made me downright mad. The dark age Saints of the church demonized so much of Love that I got rather hostile with the whole church attitude.
I find these ancients rather disturbing in their attitude towards all forms of Love other than the purely spiritual. We could have done better with Love than to inherit some of their more demonic dark ages thinking. This book could spark controversy with the religious purist who holds these Saints dear.
The author does comment that some of the more suppressive ideas of Love may not be to our present day liking. It is now easy to see how and why history has left us with many of our ideas on Love.
As for our present day status, I do not think it is too bad considering where we came from. The author does make some effort to add his ideas for improving our concepts of Love. Maybe partly out of seeing where we have been, we can better grasp where we want to go with Love and it's spiritual manifestation.
A facinating book that explains the different ways we have defined and idealized Love with and without Spirituality.
