Resumen
HERNANDEZ, Juan Pablo. Love and Reasons. Eidos [online]. 2020, n.33, pp.241-261. Epub 24-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1692-8857.
Love and rationality are often considered as capacities which easily come into conflict, or are even opposed to one another. In the paper I elaborate some points suggested by Harry Frankfurt in order to propose that the relation between love and rationality is not one of opposition. After offering a characterization of love as a hybrid multi-track disposition, I will argue that love is rational in the following sense: although love is not justifiable, it is nevertheless a source of basic and sometimes irresistible reasons which to a large extent shape the field of our rationality. This does not mean that love is an irrational or arrational foundation, or that it is impervious to reason; it only means that in certain circumstances it makes sense to subject love to rational scrutiny.
Palabras clave : Dispositions; emotions; love; irrationality; arrationality.
