Document Summary
The history of romantic love: romantic love as a concept hasn"t always existed as a fully developed culture, did romantic love as an experience exist, concepts shape the way that we experience the world, cant separate out the experience and the conceptualization of the experience, human nature is itself on interaction between mental constructs acquired through patterns of accumulated experience, individual or communal, and biological mechanisms genetically programmed. Love is risky: the lover is devoted (non voluntarily) to the flourishing of his/her beloved, desire well being for his/her own sake, act in such way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always act the same time as an end and never simply as a means, the reason that we must not betray what we love is that we must not betray ourselves .
