	The Four Loves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lewis in which he explores the nature of love from a Christian perspective.
		He starts by distinguishing Need-love (such as the love of a child for its mother) from Gift-love (epitomized by God's love for humanity), and then divides love into four categories, based on the four Greek words for love.
		Eros (ερος) is love in the sense of 'being in love'.

		- Phileo love is a love of the affections.
		This is the love that Hollywood has made billions on, tons of books and articles have been written about, and poets have pined and lamented over her beauty.
		And, I believe that without God in the picture, that love is not love at all...it is merely a human emotion that turns to lust and confuses itself, and eventually fails and dies.

	The Question of God . C.S. Lewis . The Four Loves \| PBS
		Lewis is differentiating between different experiences of love that all human beings have, and identifying that it is natural to love one's brother, one's family members, enter into relationships with friends, male and female, to enter into erotic and romantic love.
		But he also recognized this mysterious realm of love that did not have a direct and immediate personal benefit, and he identified that as agape, or a selfless love, a love that was truly committed to the well being of the other.
		The love that's being talked about in the love-your-neighbor exhortation is not necessarily the love that comes easy, the love that is full of emotion, of good feeling.

	The Question of God . Four Loves \| PBS
		The Need-loves, so far as I have been able to see, have no resemblance to the Love which God is. They are rather correlatives, opposites; not as evil is the opposite of good, of course, but as the form of the blancmange is an opposite to the form of the mould.
		But Divine Gift-love in the man enables him to love what is not naturally lovable; lepers, criminals, enemies, morons, the sulky, the superior, and the sneering.
		I mean a love which does not dream of disinterestedness, a bottomless indigence.

	The Four Year Plan
		The Four Year Plan is a simple rotation design that weaves together the areas of parental responsibility for teaching an LDS family.
		Many families use the Four Year Plan at home and send their children part-time to their local schools or community colleges, choosing classes that are related to the family’s themes for the year.
		The Four Year Plan is designed to be thematic and flexible, allowing families to choose for themselves how much they incorporate into their personal family education plan.

	The Four Loves
		The highest and 'closest to heaven' variant of this love is the fellowshipping, the 'brethren-love' of philadelphian friendship.
		Love is what we were made for, relationship is build into us as the very core of our being and need.
		Having the foundation of God's love in your life, and to seek to live in giving love selflessly in all its different forms, permutations and combinations, that is what Life is all about.

		One may have generalized "loved ones" such as family and friends, we may "love" certain activities or places, we may even say we are "in love"...
		The other loves, though they can be wonderful in their place, can be used unnaturally and ineffectively to try and fill in for Agape if it is not felt.
		Love is vulnerable, and you will get hurt, he says, and the only place you can fully escape from the "dangers and perturbations" of love is in Hell.

		This love becomes more conscious and uplifting when we look at another person whom we may not care for and say: ‘Although I would never consider living with that person, or marrying him [or her], but he [she] is a good person in his [her] way.’ Affection has taken hold here.
		It is imperative to reclaim the Eros love with its beauty and purity in a relationship, from the grip of the erotic and the lustful, in order to realize that the love between spouses is truly God given and blessed for His glory.
		The love which an artist has for his or her work, and the passion with which he or she dedicates oneself to bringing about a human creation can also be described as an Eros love.

	The Four Loves, by C. S. Lewis
		In this candid, wise, and warmly personal book, C. Lewis describes the four basic kinds of human love - affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God.
		He explores the possibilities and problems of the love between parents and children; the love of men for other men and women for other women; the love of men and women for each other; and the love of God that enriches all love.
		There are risks that accompany the rewards of love, the author cautions, but he recommends taking them, since "hell is the only place outside of heaven where we can be safe from the dangers of love."

	Four Loves
		When FOUR LOVES was made though, many of its younger personalities were still a few short years away from major fame.
		However, FOUR LOVES' four main actresses more than compensate for this by putting the amount of effort, enthusiasm and heart that they do into their parts.
		My personal choice of highlight sequence of FOUR LOVES would be that which involved more than one or two of the actresses and actors: Specifically, the dance performances which took place on Pauline Wong's character's birthday.

	C.S. Lewis’ ‘Four Loves’ Defines The Ultimate Love
		We toss around, stretch, beat and mold the word “love” into so many different square pegs which we then attempt to cram into the round holes of our hearts—that we’re not sure what this love, which we so desire, is anymore.
		Distinguishing between the general forms of “need,” “gift” and “appreciative” love, he also solidly establishes the distinctions, motivations, and dangers of the particular natural loves, “affection,” “friendship,” and “eros.” He leads the reader to recognize the transforming power the supernatural love of caritas (Christian charity) has over the natural loves.
		With this love, we are lost in awe and gaze in adoration of the God who created us, delighting in the fulfillment of his everlasting and most tender embrace.

	Jolly Roger Great Books Forums - The Four Loves
		Really, this book IS one of the BEST I ever read: the dark sides of love (Love who becomes more important the God, ends up becoming a demon-- one of the "Dark Gods of the Blood") were well explored.
		The four loves is a very complex work, not to be taken lightly or to be considered obscene or obsolete.
		Naturally, we must worship the Lord and not a man, but to say that one of the greatest christian and intellectual minds of the past century produced satanic, rascist, or obscene writing is a bit far fetched.

		In 'what is love', we made the distinction between Divine or gift-love (so called because it demands nothing in return and is closest to love himself) and the 'natural' or need-loves (so called because they are earthly human loves - born of a need to be loved).
		Friendship is a love we can live without and is often discouraged among the subjects of leaders and who fear revolt.
		Charity is the love that wants nothing in return (given freely) and its primal source is God.

		There are at least four different kinds of love often represented by the same word in English and thus often confused.
		The third kind of love we will pass by fairly quickly, as it is not mentioned in the New Testament, either, although it does come up in the doctrines of the New Church from time to time.
		It is mentioned by C. Lewis in his book about the four kinds of love, and it basically describes the bond between a parent and a child.

		Clearly the love between a happily married man and women is different than the love shared between a mother and her child.
		The affectionate love between mother and child is unique because on the one hand it is a need-love in that a child needs his mother’s love to survive; on the other it is a gift-love because the mother selflessly gives of herself to her child out of pure love.
		And though in today’s society “erotic love” seems to imply an impure, “counterfeit” love based primarily on sex, for Lewis, Eros is the beginning of true love, based on the pure and beautiful desire of one person for another.

		This theme—of the tension or rivalry between our natural loves and love for God—is given its most systematic treatment by Lewis in The Four Loves, a book that deserves, I believe, to be considered a minor classic in Christian ethics.
		Therefore, each of the natural loves, beautiful and splendid as they are in themselves, must be transformed by charity, by love of God.
		"To love at all," Lewis wrote in The Four Loves, "is to be vulnerable.

		Monda: Above all in the decision to place love at the center of his reflection, essence of Christian doctrine and, especially, in having dedicated the first part of the encyclical to the comparison and distinction between "eros" and "agape," with a brief allusion to "philia."
		But it is not just in structure where a harmony is perceived, but also in the contents: Lewis' sharp intelligence goes to the core of the Christian faith with the same capacity of penetration of the German Pontiff, and with the same ability to illuminate, explain and give to the reader's attention.
		Monda: Lewis writes, for example, speaking of charity, that "natural love-gift is always directed to objects that the one in love considers in a certain sense intrinsically worthy of love.
