Abstract
We can be said to love many things. These include people (people in general, but also people with whom we have a special relationship like parents, siblings, children, friends, romantic partners, spouses . . .), non-human animals (dogs, cats, horses, snakes . . .) objects (rings, shoes, paintings . . .), activities (eating, dancing, playing guitar, watching movies . . .), ideas (truth, justice, wisdom . . .), and so on. Though to say that we love some of these things amounts to little more than the claim that we like them, in many cases something more, and in other cases something quite different, is being claimed. The question is what that more or different thing amounts to, and what reasons for action we have in virtue of loving someone or something in that more or different way.
