Franz Von Baader's Philosophy of Love

In this monograph, Ramon J. Betanzos organizes and articulates Baader's philosophy of love by systematically tracing in through a vast and complex maze of texts. In so doing, he also demonstrates how Baader reintroduced discarded and neglected philosophical traditions - particularly mysticism and theosophy - and made them intellectually respectable in a world where scepticism and rationalism prevailed.
