[MD] Love as Quality

[John Carl]

Ron, I really like your points about equating the levels of Quality with
levels of Love; quibble a bit tho:


> Love is divided into 4 kinds, intellectual love of which the highest
> pattern is the love
> of wisdom.


True


> Social love, the highest is the love of your fellow human beings



True, if by "love of" you mean how much your fellow humans love you.
 Society has a hierarchy which is dependent upon others:  celebrity is
everything.



Biological love, the highest being the love and care of ones own body.



Disagree.

Any animal will lay down its life for its offspring.  The highest love on
the biological level is procreation.  Even comes with its own empirically
enticing biological reward system.  Orgasm.  Woo hoo.



> inorganic love, the highest being the form of life.


Disagree again

Once you hit life, you're on a different level of organization.  It's hard
to say what love is on the inorganic level.  How about energy?  When matter
becomes energy, it is the highest quality of love that inorganic can
express.  Sun God worship time.

I vote yes.  It is the expression of Quality on different levels that
resonates with what I call art.
