22784 | Love is ethical life in its natural form [Hegel] |
Full Idea: Love is a feeling, that is, ethical life in its natural form. | |
From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Elements of the Philosophy of Right [1821], 158 add) | |
A reaction: For Hegel the less natural forms are more abstract - such as the categorical imperative. Does this imply that intellectual beings should extend the feeling of love into more abstract forms, such as virtues or principles or ideals? |
