Sumario:All kinds of acts desired, considered, and performed by humans under the name of 'love' concern the relation aspired by a 'self' to one or more 'other ones'. For Augustine 'to love' means propter se ipsam rem aliquam appetere (diu. qu. 36,1). This brings into focus the consciousness, reasonableness, and freedom of these loving beings. With his thoughts on love, Augustine picks up motifs of ancient philosophy, points ahead to Kant, and shows that he is a great philosopher who wants to bring 'love' and 'freedom of decision' into harmony with faith in God and, in this way, presents ideas that are still relevant today.
