Wilhelmsen\u003c\/strong\u003e presents an in-depth exploration of the existential metaphysics of \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Thomas Aquinas\u003c\/strong\u003e, using his philosophical framework to delve into the \u003cstrong\u003eontological structure\u003c\/strong\u003e of the human person. First published in 1962, this classic work examines how Thomistic metaphysics continues to influence Western philosophy, shedding light on the profound nature of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses a critical question in philosophy and theology: \u003cstrong\u003ehow can the love of self (eros)\u003c\/strong\u003e be harmonized with \u003cstrong\u003elove of others (agape)\u003c\/strong\u003e? These two forms of love, Wilhelmsen argues, represent fundamental drives that must ultimately be understood as intrinsic aspects of human existence itself. Through engaging with the thoughts of influential philosophers such as \u003cstrong\u003ePlato\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAristotle\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKant\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHegel\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHeidegger\u003c\/strong\u003e, and theologians like \u003cstrong\u003eRomano Guardini\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEric Voegelin\u003c\/strong\u003e, Wilhelmsen draws connections between metaphysical issues and the moral and psychological dimensions of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work emphasizes the importance of balancing self-love and love for others, and highlights how different cultures approach this balance. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Metaphysics of Love\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a \u003cstrong\u003ephilosophical framework\u003c\/strong\u003e for understanding the relationship between self, neighbor, and God.
