The Fundamental Evolution of Meaning of Love in Kierkigardʹs Opinion

Love is among major concerns of Kierkigard; as he has assigned an importance to it calling it ʹworks of loveʹ. A love which is valuable, according to him, is the Christian love in contrast to natural love and friendship. The Christian love is the love for mankind and hence there is no discrimination or preference in it. One whose heart is purified from diversity and who has penetrated the infinite mode of his existence into moments of his existence wishes nothing but good in the purity of Heart, as Kierkigard says, and manifestation of this good is, at least from the aspect of relation with others, love. Taking into consideration most significant facets narrated by Kierkigard as Christian love, we attempt in this research to explain the evolution of the meaning of love in his opinion and to indicate that for him, the genuine love can be nothing but sensation and motion in addition to the awareness of having duties in relation to mankind.
