This beautifully written book by one of the world's leading moral philosophers argues that the key to a fulfilled life is to pursue wholeheartedly what one cares about, that love is the most authoritative form of caring, and that the purest form of love is, in a complicated way, self-love. Harry Frankfurt writes that it is through caring that we infuse the world with meaning. Caring provides us with stable ambitions and concerns; it shapes the framework of aims and interests within which we lead our lives. The most basic and essential question for a person to raise about the conduct of his or her life is not what he or she should care about but what, in fact, he or she cannot help caring about. The most important form of caring, Frankfurt writes, is love, a nonvoluntary, disinterested concern for the flourishing of what is loved. Love is so important because meaningful practical reasoning must be grounded in ends that we do not seek only to attain other ends, and because it is in loving that we become bound to final ends desired for their own sakes. Frankfurt argues that the purest form of love is self-love. This sounds perverse, but self-love - as distinct from self-indulgence - is at heart a disinterested concern for whatever it is that the person loves. The most elementary form of self-love is nothing more than the desire of a person to love. Insofar as this is true, self-love is simply a commitment to finding meaning in our lives.

诚然，Harry G. Frankfurt的<<On Bullshit>>很扫我的兴，但不能因为一次不尽兴的阅读就否认掉作者，事实也证明了这点，他的这本"The Reasons of Love"个人感觉还是蛮喜欢。全书共有3个章节 - The Question: “How Should We Live?”，On Love, and Its Reasons and The Dear Se...

我真是不enjoy读哲学
评分an honor to know my boyfriend
评分The reasons of love? No. Because of love, we find our beloved lovable. Love is prior to the reasons of love.
评分Style: 8/10, Content: 9/10 不是我一般会读的东西，昨天十一月十一日在图书馆叼Pocky喝着Calpico读的。印象最深的是一下三个argument：一开始的 “Lover赋予被爱者价值”，这事我之前从来没考虑过。“爱让生命有意义”，这个想法我之前有过，作者rehearse出来了，说得还可以，但不是特别地惊艳；但最后这段，“决定去爱的那一刻不是比较出最优的博弈结果，是有了confidence at controlling volatile feeling”这段rehearse感人至深。对于总想着PhilosophyofMind/Plato的我来说，这算是第一次感受到了哲学中人类的温度。最近也读Russell，所以还是不免觉得要是文笔更好一点就好了。
评分disinterested concern到底是个什么玩意儿= = 隔了好久再读一遍还是一点都不make sense
