Summary
Dialogues of Love, by Leo the Hebrew, written in the context of the Renaissance, represents a crucial work for understanding the evolution of the concept of love in the philosophy of the time. This dissertation examines how the author fuses Platonic and Judeo-Christian traditions, creating a vision of love that transcends the merely physical and transcends into the spiritual and divine. During the Renaissance, a period defined by the rediscovery of classical ways of doing philosophy and a profound exploration of human nature, love was understood not only as an emotion, as it may be conceived today, but as a motivating force towards knowledge and moral perfection. Through this work, Leo the Hebrew articulates love as a means to attain wisdom and, consequently, union with the divine. Thus, Dialogues of Love is not only a literary and philosophical work, but also a testimony to the Renaissance as a period of cultural and philosophical synthesis, in which love stands as a bridge between human and divine.
