Already before the Q scholars, Nietzsche saw this love as the essence of the Sermon on the Mount and based his philosophy upon it. Throughout the Catholic tradition agape fulfilled the affection of Empedocles, the eros of Plato, the friendship of Aristotle, and the agape of Plotinus. While, as Anders Nygren shows, modernists protested such syntheses, now postmodernists once again let agape and the four loves contribute to one another. Endorsements: In this work, David Goicoechea gives us an exhilarating exploration of the role of the father in the lives of Christ and Nietzsche, as well as in his own life. --Tim Madigan, Associate Professor of Philosophy, St. John Fisher College David Goicoechea offers us a personal tour through his life and the life of agape in Western philosophical thought. This book is both a confession of love and a working out of the problem of love, in sometimes inspiring and sometimes controversial ways. We can agree or disagree with him, but we certainly cannot avoid being engaged by him. --David Galston, Chaplain, Brock University About the Contributor(s): David L. Goicoechea is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario. He has published widely in the areas of philosophy of love, existentialism, philosophy of religion, postmodernism, and the history of philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51219720765713,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51219721126161,"sku":"NIN9781620321539","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52400825467153,"sku":"NLS9781620321539","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/162032153X.jpg?v=1750831324"},{"product_id":"nature-and-pursuit-of-love-book-david-goicoechea-9780879759124","title":"The Nature and Pursuit of Love","description":"Singer's approach to love in philosophy, literature, music and psychology is classical throughout, and never far from the question of eros and agape as it gives rise to the Western tradition. His exploration of Sigmund Freud and George Santayana guide his thinking, his historical philosophising moves with an abiding respect for science and art. The essays of this volume, which are the proceedings of a conference on the importance of Singer's work, reflect his broad interests and yet focus on his key distinction between love as appraisal and love as bestowal. They assess Singer's view of love as growing from the primitive, naturalism idealising of sex to the transcendental idealising of Christian Platonism to the humanistic idealising of post-romanticism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52590924038417,"sku":"NLS9780879759124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186072150289,"sku":"NIN9780879759124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780879759124.jpg?v=1761063001"},{"product_id":"question-of-humanism-book-david-goicoechea-9780879756147","title":"The Question of Humanism","description":"23 contributors investigate the meaning of humanism today, its range of perspectives, and how humanists can deal with the challenges of contemporary life and those it will face as the new century approaches. This absorbing collection of original essays examines the abundant variety of historical and contemporary humanist philosophies, with special emphasis on the work of Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant, Soren Kierkegaard, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Michel Foucault. Focusing on the need for an awareness of humanist tradition, these essays offer blunt, progressive self-appraisals to illustrate how humanism will continue to grow as a vital and compelling intellectual force.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619702370577,"sku":"NLS9780879756147","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780879756147.jpg?v=1761536609"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-david-goicoechea.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
