MENA MALET, PATRICIO. THE ATTENTIONALITY OF LOVE A PRIVILEGED AND PRIMORDIAL EXPERIENCE OF CARE. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2018, vol.67, n.168, pp.319-344. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v67n168.59031.

The article inquires into the attentionality inherent to love as a privileged and primordial experience of care. Seeking access to the phenomenon of love, we suggest inquiring into it according to the type of attention it promotes, drawing on and discussing the resources provided by Husserlian phenomenology, as well as by counter-intentional phenomenologies, particularly Waldenfels'. Thus, while it is necessary to account for the affective grounds of attention in order to describe this phenomenon, it is also essential to recognize that love is experienced as an original fact or as an event that entails an existential and attentional reorientation of the lover.

Palabras clave : love; attentionality; care; original fact; pathos.
