Love as the source of morality

Love and morality guide many of our actions, but the relationship between these two sources of normativity is complicated. In preparation for a major grant-application current philosophical ideas about this relation will be collected and discussed, primarily through the organisation of a Symposium in Antwerp and participation to international conferences. The guiding hypothesis is that morality is not in tension with but rather presupposes love.
