DEFINITIONS OF TYPES OF LOVE
Eros= romantic or "erotic love." It is based on strong feelings toward another. It usually oc-
curs in the first stages of a man-woman "romantic" relationship. This love is based more on physi-
cal traits.
Example: a person says he has "fallen in love" for a woman, because "she looked like an an-
gel” or a woman "falls in love" for a guy because he is intelligent, is from a good family or has
good manners.
Philos= a love based on friendship between two people
Philadelphia is also known as the “City of Brotherly Love.” Look at the name.
Agape= unconditional love
Example: Think of the kind of love that a mother has for her child
or the love we show our parents, taking care of them and helping them in their old age. Just
like they took care of us when we were young, it is done with or without benefit in return.
