Solovyov meaning of love is a spiritual birth of person, the resurrection of his soul. According to religious views, each person embodies the image of God. According to the philosophy of V. Solovyov, this image specifically is learned in love. Vladimir Solovyov sees the person in the context of the formation of unity. For Solovyov God and humanity form a unity that is bound by threads of love. When the people know God through love they become closer to each other. Consequently love is a connection that satisfies a essential need in connection with the other person. In a couple of people becomes a harmonious whole. Exploring the works of V. Solovyov, we can say that for him love is truth. The concept of love, truth and unity are inseparably linked for him. God is the manifestation of this unity, God is love, God is revealed as universal love. It is essential that love Solovyov understands in the attribute definition of love-Agape. Agape is the highest form of love, unconditional acceptance of the other, love that is unwavering. The type of love that God loves his creation, must be inherited by man in his earthly love, the love of a woman or a man. This love is above all spiritual love, which represents the spiritual unity, spiritual merging between loving in one inseparable entity, merging in the spirit. The doctrine of Solovyov reveals the main meaning of love – a combination of two separate creatures for transformed self-actualization of the ideal personality. Such person can not be only male or only female but it forms their unity. Love leads people to the metaphysical merger, to the joining of two separate lives into one. Transformed personality, in the understanding of V. Solovyov, is able to influence world life, to defeat death and evil. As a result love contains extraordinary meaning. Thus, from the overall context of the metaphysics of love by V. Solovyov, the displayed position corresponding to the fundamental units of the Eastern Slavic religious and philosophical beliefs that love is truth and God is love. |
