Homo loving: the art and the existence

Abstract

The phenomenon of love is analyzed in space of philosophical anthropology, aesthetics and art criticism. The focus of the study is a dichotomy of the object of love identifications: the phenomenal "objectivity" of a collective view (the Beloved as Another for the many) and the noumenal Universe of the loving consciousness (Another as Beloved). The reasoning is illustrated by the material from the actual art, cinematograph, painting and literature.
