Abstract

The article deals with the spiritual component of such a unique phenomenon as love. The aim of the work is to analyze the spiritual side of love in the German philosophy of Im. Kant, G. W. F. Hegel, A. Schopenhauer and L. Feuerbach, namely Christian and non-Christian, including mythological, sensual-spiritual images of love. and the task is to compare the understanding of the sensual-spiritual side of love in the works of these philosophers. The relevance of this study is associated with the great importance of German classical philosophy in understanding love as both a spiritual and sensual phenomenon, which seems important due to the modern exaggerated sensual understanding of the world. It is noteworthy that the aesthetic in this context was interpreted as a sensually perceived, non-utilitarian attitude of a person to reality, capable of elevating him to a state of spiritual and sensual euphoria. The object of this study is the understanding of love in the philosophy of Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Feuerbach. The subject is the ratio of sensual and spiritual love in German philosophy. The article provides an analysis of the philosophical and religious views of these thinkers in the field of understanding love as an aesthetic phenomenon. The purpose of the work is to reveal specifically religious, namely Christian and non-Christian sensual-spiritual images of love. Philosophers' concepts are considered sequentially, including in a comparative section and polemics between authors.
