Sincere love to all the fellow Steemians reading this...
The philosophy of love is a field of social philosophy and ethics that attempts to explain the nature of love.
In the above attached illustration, you can see the different types of philosophical Love :-

  1. Platonic Love (IDEAL)
  2. Aristotelian Love (LOGICAL)
  3. Descartian Love (METHODICAL)
  4. Spinozistic Love (ETHICAL)
  5. Hobbesian Love (TYANNIC)
  6. Lockean Love (LIBERAL)
  7. Rousseauuan Love (ANIMALISTIC)
  8. Kantian Love (TRANSCENDENT)
  9. Hegelian Love (DIALECTICAL)
  10. Marxian Love (REVOLUTIONARY)
  11. Comitean Love (POSITIVE)
  12. Nietzschean Love (BEYOND GOOF & EVIL)

If you are into Philosophy & Human Sciences, I would like to know which one do you prefer & Why?

To me, I would prefer Platonic Love, not just because it is Ideal but it is all I seek these days. I've learnt by time that, maybe I'm wrong but love always disturbs the equilibrium of peace & Happiness, Sooner or later. Thus I think that's perfect for me.

Please do let me know which one do you prefer?

Nietzschean Love (BEYOND GOOF & EVIL) is the closest I relate to. I always have the tenancy to understand and enjoy characters with Blue&Orange morality in fiction. My profile pic is one of such characters from the anime masterpiece Psycho-Pass.

I wonder what an illustration of (Ayn) Randian love would look like.

Well, this is the 1st time I have come across a person with the choice of Nietzschean Love.
I guess, It’s just the idea of youth and accepting yourself with all the flaws you have. Only by that one can overcome the chain of nihilist darkness.

I am still unaware of (Ayn) Randian love .
Plz enlighten me.

Try this for an intro on her philosophy:https://steemit.com/philosophy/@vimukthi/how-ayn-rand-became-the-greatest-prophet-of-our-time-how-her-philosophy-was-born-it-s-use-in-modern-times-and-criticisms-against

Then read The Fountainhead Which is IMO the greatest work of modern literature.

BTW Nietzsche was actually anti-nihilist. He claimed Christianity to be a form of nihilism. Below are some quotes:

A favorite motto of Nietzsche, taken from Pindar, reads: "Become what you are."

Christianity is called the religion of pity. Pity stands opposed to the tonic emotions which heighten our vitality: it has a depressing effect. We are deprived of strength when we feel pity. That loss of strength which suffering as such inflicts on life is still further increased and multiplied by pity. Pity makes suffering contagious.

What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.

Hope, in its stronger forms, is a great deal more powerful stimulans to life than any sort of realized joy can ever be. Man must be sustained in suffering by a hope so high that no conflict with actuality can dash it—so high, indeed, that no fulfilment can satisfy it: a hope reaching out beyond this world.

The 'Kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart — not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death'.

Although he considered both Christianity and Buddhism to be nihilistic, decadent religions, Nietzsche did consider Buddhism more realistic because it posed objective problems and did not use the concept of God. In all religious history, Nietzsche believed, Buddhism was the only positivistic religion because it struggles against actual suffering, which is experienced as fact or illusion (the concept of Maya) in various Buddhist traditions. Christianity, by contrast, struggles against sin, while suggesting that suffering can have a redemptive quality.

Nietzsche claimed that Buddhism is "beyond good and evil" because it has developed past the "...self–deception of moral concepts... ." Buddha created the religion in order to assist individuals in ridding themselves of the suffering of life. "The supreme goal is cheerfulness, stillness, absence of desire, and this goal is achieved." Buddhism had its roots in higher and also learned classes of people, whereas Christianity was the religion of the lowest classes, Nietzsche wrote. He also believed Christianity had conquered barbarians by making them sick. Buddhism objectively claims "I suffer". Christianity, on the other hand, interprets suffering as related to sin.] Buddhism is too positivistic and truthful, according to Nietzsche, to have advocated the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and charity. He called these virtues the three Christian shrewdnesses. Faith and belief are opposed to reason, knowledge, and inquiry, he believed. Hope, to him, in the Beyond sustains the unhappy multitudes.
