The concept of love is perhaps one of the most familiar to human beings, yet it belies the layers of meaning. It is used broadly to appraise the value of another person in our life, a friend or a beloved. But love is also applied to God, objects, activities, and places. The differences inherent in these will give us hints at the complexity of intersubjective love as well as when it is used as praise of a deity. What these have in common are the transformative experiences that modify human values and in some instances their worldview. This chapter presents both individual and collective transformations and then presents the most prevalent types of love. They provide assurances that love is a central ontological capacity of human beings, and this offers a window to self-knowledge and wisdom to love wisely. The challenges to this aspiration are discussed more in philaic, agapeic, and romantic loves.
