title = "Mortal Longings",
abstract = "Christianity tends to contextualize love by appeal to some manner of immortal longing. This is a plausible approach for various familiar kinds of love. Yet there are important loves that do not fit at all well with the idea. They will be difficult to understand unless we recognize their acceptance of mortality, and the longing for something resolutely finite and transitory that they involve. This chapter attends to loves of this sort, with the attention in question shaped by personal reflection and philosophical sensibilities which are recognizably Wittgensteinian and concerned with matters which run deep within human lives.
