| Summary: | The author accepts Adams' conclusion that love inextricably includes an element of self-concern. The author adds that strands of selflessness and self-concern make all human love self-contradictory and conflicted. Against the champions of pure love as the Christian ideal, he argues that both strands are essentially good, neither superior to the other. The conflicted love can be, in total essence, a good Christian love. |
