Hans Urs Von Balthasar sur l’amour chrétien : erôs et/ou agapè ?

Jean-Noël Dol Logo ORCID

Abstract

Does the Christian love, or the Trinitarian love urging the believer to love God, self and neighbour, take the form of agapè only, or can it include – and if so, in what way – other dimensions of human love like philia and erôs? This very old debate revived in the 20th century. This article aims to show how Hans Urs von Balthasar radically criticises the possibility of the presence of erôs, overlooks philia, and focuses on agapè, understood as an entirely free and selfless gift of self.
