요약This dissertation explores and defends the moral significance of love for other persons. In The Possibility of Altruism, Thomas Nagel (1970) suggests that the motivational foundation of morality depends on our recognition of the reality of other persons. Loving another person, I argue, commits us to the same kind of recognition: fully seeing that person's-the beloved's-independent reality. My account of this commitment challenges our tendency to think of love and morality as separate domains and shows that love is a promising place to look for novel answers to classic ethical questions.The first chapter, "Love and Unselfing," examines an overlooked aspect of love for persons. It argues that love, like morality, demands a certain kind of impartial or disinterested vision from us. Unfortunately, our self-interested nature makes it very difficult to meet this demand-in fact, given what it is like to occupy a subjective standpoint, we might worry that it is impossible. This chapter unpacks and offers a solution to this difficulty. Drawing on Iris Murdoch's work on love, I argue that we can come to appreciate our beloveds as we should through unselfing, a kind of self-forgetful, disinterested appreciation of an object outside the self. I conclude with the suggestion that the capacity for impartiality we develop in learning how to love others as we should plays an important role in moral relations too.The second chapter, "Reasons for Love and the Beloved's Irreplaceability," develops a novel account of reasons for love. While it is widely agreed that love is a state for which there can be normative reasons, there is little consensus on what these reasons are. The existing literature on this topic, I argue, is fundamentally misguided in its excessive focus on the lover's standpoint and its failure to recognize the significance of love's commitments. I develop and defend the view that love is justified by the beloved's unique value as a person. On my view, love is justified insofar as it constitutes an appropriate response to the beloved's unique value; and that is the case only insofar as one fully recognizes their reality. I show that my view can accommodate our intuitions about the beloved's irreplaceability and love's selectivity.The third chapter, "Sharing Points of View," examines how reciprocal love alters a person's normative situation. It is widely agreed that there is a sense in which lovers "merge" or "become one" (call this merging). I give an account of merging that highlights how love alters the structure of someone's practical deliberation. Notably, these changes give rise to two distinctive threats to individual autonomy. I argue that for lovers to maintain individual autonomy in a merger, they must resolve conflicts across their perspectives by reasoning together from the moral standpoint. The upshot is that for our actions to truly be our own in love, we must recognize the moral standpoint as authoritative.
