Abstract

The Theme of the paper is some aspects of temporality of love. The author abandons partially traditional philosophical treatment of problems in question by understanding love not only as a way of transcending human life but also as a social phenomenon, characterized by the historical and temporal system. By means of some sociological categories he interprets love as an event and intimity. However, to express the temporal paradox of love he makes use of symbolic archetypes of characters who represent love in attempts of Man to transcend his being. Bipolarity of love is thus presented also in the kind of interpretation of the theme.
