Abstract
Love is among the most valuable things in life. It is also complex, and relates to many moral and social issues. In this entry, we first outline what some of the different kinds of love are, before turning to explore what love actually is: a biological response, an emotion, or a syndrome. We then look at some different accounts of romantic love, considering in particular whether it is best thought of as rational or arational. Finally, we examine love’s relationship to morality, and finish with a brief overview of some of the philosophically interesting issues related to marriage.
