The Revolution of Love as Ethical Core of the Family Relation

This paper delves into the inner core of the family relation from the diagnosis of the revolution of love. To do this, it explores some of the leading voices that have been involved in investigating the different love dispositions that occur in the relationship between lovers, from initial falling in love, up to love-friendship based on communal consciousness. This itinerary leads to the conclusion that the deepest implication of this love revolution is not only sociological, but it also implies opening the door to understanding the link of love supporting family life as both an affective and an ethical relationship.
