Sam Shpall (Sydney): Against Romanticism

Romantic views hold that love is an outlier in moral psychology because of its immunisation from rational norms. Such views are historically robust, practically important, and philosophically mysterious. I claim that three main sources of romantic views are (i) an appeal to love’s “blindness,” (ii) a pair of arguments about old and new love, and (iii) a thesis connecting love and emotion. I argue that all three motivations are subject to underappreciated critiques.
