5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, October 16, 2007

N. Wood "lover of wisdom and beauty" (New York, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Meaning of Love (Paperback)

Soloviev, a brilliant Russian Orthodox philosopher of the late 19th century, covers a lot of ground in this little book. Love is held up as the shatterer of egoism and the means by which an individual becomes a bearer of the "all-unity" of the cosmos, gathering together all the elements of the world together within himself and thereby becoming an absolutely unique, absolutely irreplaceable, "absolutely significant" individual who transcends the laws of nature and triumphs over the forces of decay and death. For anyone who suspects that love is about more than just blind sexual instinct, or economics, or anything less than insight into the heart of reality, this book simply can't be passed up. Even if you end up not agreeing with everything here, you'll no doubt be moved by the beauty of the cosmic vision of love he presents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solovyov, transference and the Grail search., November 23, 2002

Charles G. Edwards (Ridge Manor, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Meaning of Love (Paperback)

If you are searching for the Grail in the mystical experience of love and the transference, this is the book for you. The title says it all. Solovyov explores and uncovers the reason there is such archetypal emotional power in love even though the divine, cosmic source is not consciously recognized and understood. It is the failure to recognize the source behind the emotion which results in such tragic disillusion and despair. Finding the true source can be - should be life transforming.
