Abstract
Abstract In this chapter I show that the various loves of other and self should be integrated with “dwelling” love, a form of love that Heidegger claims is foundational in all our loves. The integration has two aspects. First, dwelling love is not simply a love of nature: it is a love of nature as a dwelling place, a place where individual humans and other beings that are objects of love, dwell. Love of “nature” cannot swamp self-love and love of others. Second, love of self and other cannot be abstracted away from our being situated in our dwelling place. For Heidegger to dwell is to be and feel “at home” in one’s day to day life. At the core of dwelling love is an emotional construal of appropriate things as ‘holy’ or somehow sacred. Construing as holy is the fundamental Grundstimmung of dwelling love.
