Love and Situation Ethics: 2

There are four types of Love

Eros: Sexual Love

Philia: Friendship Love

Storge: Family Love

Agape: Unconditional Love (Christian Love)
Agape is altruism – the ability to act selflessly. An act of which the end result generates nothing positive or meaningful for the act creator – only for the recipient of the act.

In other words – unlike eros, philia and storge – agape creates no personal gain for the person showing agape love.

Agape is non-preferential and non
-reciprocal
