CHAPTER TWO: THE PERSON AND LOVE
III. MORAL ANALYSIS OF LOVE
11. The experience and under
exists today call a moral situation. Is related to the philosophical existentialism. According to its adherents, human existence is composed of situations each of which constitutes a kind of standard of action. Admit it and live it fully, regardless of everything that is outside of them. Which is beyond the situation can not, by that very fact, go through with it or adaptársele, human life does not support general and abstract rules out of state, are they too rigid and essential, when in fact life is always concrete and existential. Based on such a principle, we should say that the love between man and woman, their particular piece of stock (or its coexistence), consists of situations that, by themselves, determine their value. These psychological situations would be the determinants for the structure and substance of sexual love. At the same time, each of them would be a standard beyond which there would have to investigate and dig. According to this view of life than to virtue.
This view hides a false conception of freedom. We said above that the freedom of the will was not possible only to the extent that was founded on the truth in knowledge. This is where the problem arises from the requirement. In fact, man must choose the true good. The obligation is where free will is fully revealed. 's will "should" follow the true good, but "must continue" implies "can not continue" should be followed precisely because it can not. The moral of the situation and existentialism rejecting the proposed obligation on behalf of freedom, for the same act leave adequate conception, or at least that which best allows that freedom to manifest. Because, in the moral realm is revealed in the most clear precisely because the obligation. And the obligation always arises where the will is a standard. Here it is not just in the field of psychology that we must seek the full integration of human love, but in the moral.
It makes the love between man and woman, can be understood in two ways: it can be considered as a psychological phenomenon or as a moral act, subject as such to a standard. In our case, the personalistic norm, contained in the commandment of love. The moral of the situation that does not support any rule falls, regarding its conception of love in psychologism. However, love in the psychological sense has to be subordinate to man love in the moral sense, on pain of failing to integrate. In short, there can be no love without full moral psychological wholeness . Where the situation (situations) to (or) can not be reduced, it is not (or are) psychologically "Mature" (or "mature") or "complete" (or "complete") rather than if love reaches its moral value. In other words, it must be lived in love, subordinated to virtue, on pain of not being fully lived.
followed it must examine the love between man and woman as a virtue. For now, let us note only that according to Christian morality based on the Gospel, love is a supernatural virtue, a divine virtue. Based on this concept, try to examine how how to manifest this virtue and how it develops in the relationships between men and women. Indeed, every supernatural virtue is rooted in nature and is not of human form rather than through the action of man. Find it at the same time, its expression and confirmation in this action, in the interior acts as well as exteriors. We, therefore, examine and analyze it as a human phenomenon, to emphasize its moral value. The fact that the love between two people of the opposite sex is a virtue, or more accurately has to be, is inserted into the preceding analysis: general and psychological. Let us refer again to the various elements. Imports especially not to forget that the love between man and woman may take the form of "marriage" because it leads to marriage. Taking with it, try to examine how this love as a virtue is to be made. It is difficult to show as a whole, since the virtue of love, spiritual reality is not visible. So will try to highlight the most essential and most clearly given by experience. The affirmation of the value of the person appears to be the first and most fundamental.
