Love as an Ontological Solution. Patočka on Love
Original language description
Patočka occasionally paid attention to love, but usually without placing much emphasis on it. In some of his late studies, however, he gave love a surprisingly high status. After explaining Patočka’s ideas on primordial love as formulated in the 1940s, I focus on Patočka’s famous concept of the movement(s) of existence as it frames his mature interpretation of love. Love, as realized through the third movement of existence, is a self-giving movement through which one overcomes self-alienation and, together with others, opens oneself to “something higher.” Since Patočka’s late reflections on love are strongly reminiscent of some Christian ideas, I pay attention to this source of inspiration and clarify his concept of self-emptying, or kenotic, love as an ontological solution. After these explanatory parts, which aim at reconstructing both the rationale and the context of Patočka’s emphasis on love, I critically analyze Patočka’s approach.
