Four Loves, The : Affection, Friendship, Eros, Charity

---

Outline: The Four loves are, Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. They have often been dealt with separately by authors as different as Ovid, St Bernard and Stendhal : and usually one or other of them is treated as the only love worth much consideration. Dr Lewis is more a map-maker than a partisan. He marks frontiers and traderoutes and tries to do justice to all. Three quotations used by the author indicate the principles that govern his survey : from St John, "God is love", from Donne, "That our affections kill us not, nor dye" and from Denis de Rougemont, "Love ceases to be a demon when he ceases to be a god". On the three natural loves much demolition and reconstruction has proved necessary. Affection had to be disentangled from a suffocating over growth of sentimentality, and Eros from some misplaced solemnities. Friendship needed defence against modern neglect and even suspicion. Dr Lewis' power of expressing easily thoughts not very easy in themselves has never been more fully exhibited.
