In short, what is the relationship between human love (eros) and divine love (agape)? This is the problem of love at the heart of the Chrisitan tradition in which God is love (1 Jn 4.8). A historical overview shows that four models have addressed the problem of love in tradition: univocity, equivocity, analogy and metamorphosis. In the first, eros and agape collapse into one reality. According to the second, eros and agape are mutually exclusive realities. In the third model, eros and agape relate in terms of similarities and only to a limited degree. The model of metamorphosis orients desire towards an integrative and higher transformation of eros and agape. This book develops the model of metamorphosis based on a philosophical reading of "On the Song of Songs" by Bernard of Clairvaux (1090?1153). 606 $aproblem of love 606 $amonastic theology 606 $aphenomenology 606 $aphilosophy of religion 606 $afree will 615 4$aproblem of love 615 4$amonastic theology 615 4$aphenomenology 615 4$aphilosophy of religion 615 4$afree will 676 $a248.4 700 $aIrizar$b Pablo$4aut$01836270 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910985680403321 996 $aThe Metamorphosis of Love$94414210 997 $aUNINA
