Protasi S. Loving people for who they are (even when they don’t love you back) / trans. from Engl. R. L. Kochnev
The debate on love’s reasons ignores unrequited love, which–I argue–can be as genuine and as valuable as reciprocated love. I start by showing that the relationship view of love cannot account for either the reasons or the value of unrequited love. I then present the simple property view, an alte...

description | The debate on love’s reasons ignores unrequited love, which–I argue–can be as
genuine and as valuable as reciprocated love. I start by showing that the relationship
view of love cannot account for either the reasons or the value of unrequited love.
I then present the simple property view, an alternative to the relationship view that
is beset with its own problems. In order to solve these problems, I present a more
sophisticated version of the property view that integrates ideas from different
property theorists in the love literature. However, even this more sophisticated
property view falls short in accounting for unrequited love’s reasons. In response,
I develop a new version of the property view that I call the experiential view.
On this view, we love a person not only in virtue of properties shaped by and
experienced in a reciprocal loving relationship, but also in virtue of perspectival
properties, whose value can be properly assessed also outside of a reciprocal
loving relationship. The experiential view is the only view that can account not only
for reciprocated love’s reasons, but also for unrequited love’s reasons |
