The Meaning of Love is a powerful antidote against the Hollywood hymn to superficial romanticism. His argumentation is clear and coherent throughout, and shows both a deep mind and a man who has personally experienced what he writes about. The Introduction by Owen Barfield is also excellent, and shows why Solovyov's thought is still (or: especially) relevant to the modern age.

"Solovyov's book, I would dare say, IS the philosophy of love. Solovyov's arguments are engaging, to say the least: engaging the intellect, but also the depths of the reader's being. You can't say that about many books. The highest praise I can offer is that The Meaning of Love is the only modern book I know of that is worthy of its subject in every respect."-David Fiedler, Gnosis Magazine "The meaning and worth of love as a feeling is that it really forces us, with all our being, to acknowledge for another the same absolute significance that, because of the power of egoism, we are conscious of only in our own selves. Love is important, not only as one of our feelings but as the transfer of all our interest in life from ourselves to another, as the shifting of the very center of our lives.... " "The meaning of human love, speaking generally, is the justification and salvation of individuality through the sacrifice of egoism. On this general basis we can also ... explain the meaning of sexual love" (Vladimir Solovyov) What is the meaning of love's intense emotion? Solovyov points to the spark of divinity that we see in another human being and shows how this "living ideal of Divine love, antecedent to our love, contains in itself the secret of the idealization of our love." According to Solovyov, love between men and women has a key role to play in the mystical transfiguration of the world. Love, which allows one person to find unconditional completion in another, becomes an evolutionary strategy for overcoming cosmic disintegration.

Ramsey`s

Soloviev, a brilliant Russian Orthodox philosopher of the late 19th century, covers a lot of ground in this little book. Love is held up as the shatterer of egoism and the means by which an individual becomes a bearer of the "all-unity" of the cosmos, gathering together all the elements of the world together within himself and thereby becoming an absolutely unique, absolutely irreplaceable, "absolutely significant" individual who transcends the laws of nature and triumphs over the forces of decay and death. For anyone who suspects that love is about more than just blind sexual instinct, or economics, or anything less than insight into the heart of reality, this book simply can't be passed up. Even if you end up not agreeing with everything here, you'll no doubt be moved by the beauty of the cosmic vision of love he presents.

The Meaning of Love is a powerful antidote against the Hollywood hymn to superficial romanticism. Solovyov shows why and how romantic love may be a gateway to the divine rather than to sloppy sentimentalism. His argumentation is clear and coherent throughout, and shows both a deep mind and a man who has personally experienced what he writes about. The Introduction by Owen Barfield is also excellent, and shows why Solovyov's thought is still (or: especially) relevant to the modern age.

For further reading in this field, I would suggest Charles Williams' Outlines of Romantic Theology, which deals with many of the same issues (though from a slightly different perspective).

Truth.

If you are searching for the Grail in the mystical experience of love and the transference, this is the book for you. The title says it all. Solovyov explores and uncovers the reason there is such archetypal emotional power in love even though the divine, cosmic source is not consciously recognized and understood. It is the failure to recognize the source behind the emotion which results in such tragic disillusion and despair. Finding the true source can be - should be life transforming.

Food for thought. Stimulating, philosophical and objective.

A difficult but rewarding read!

It was not what I expected at all. I realize the author is from a different era, but he seemed to be saying the same thing over and over, just using different words. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
