17、e four words.Our word“love”actually covers four kinds of love,namely,1)agape,that is,spiritual love or the love of God;2)storge,that is,family love;3)philia,that is,the love between friends which we usually call brotherly;and 4)eros,that is,love experienced between a man and a woman when sexual feel

19、 many ways the most transient of the forms of love and yet it gets the most attention.Some people even seem to make it the one zone in life that youre always supposed to be attempting to land in or trying to stay in.Unit 2 Is Love an Art?AIFTTR3.13.Valentines Day(February 14)There are varying opinio

20、ns as to the origin of Valentines Day.Some experts state that it originated from St.Valentine,a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity.He died on February 14,269 A.D.,the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.Legend also says that St.Valentine left a farewell note for

21、 the jailers daughter,who had become his friend,and signed it“From Your Valentine”.Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at a temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius,but Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him.In 496 A.D.Pope Gelasius set aside Februar

22、y 14 to honor St.Valentine.Unit 2 Is Love an Art?AIFTTR3.2 Gradually,February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St.Valentine became the patron saint of lovers.The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers.There was often a social gathering or a ball.In the U

23、nited States,Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards.Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800s and now the date is very commercial.The town of Loveland,Colorado,does a large post office business around February 14.The spirit of goodwill continues to be impo

25、m 1837 to 1901.Queen Victoria herself lived from 1819 to 1901.Only 18 when she came to the throne,Victoria oversaw England at the height of its overseas power.The British Empire was established and reached its greatest expanse under her reign.Perhaps most important during the Victorian Age was the s

28、ntaneous personal experience which then might lead to marriage.Marriage was contracted by convention instead of as a result of romantic love.Women usually married men chosen and approved of by their parents,and men chose women who were appropriate social matches.Love was supposed to develop between

29、the two after marriage.AIFTTR4.2Unit 2 Is Love an Art?Text Is Love an Art?NotesIntroduction to the Author and the ArticlePhrases and ExpressionsExercisesMain Idea of the TextUnit 2 Is Love an Art?MIOTT1Main Idea of the Text In the text,Fromm states that people have the wrong attitude towards love.Mo

30、st peoples first faulty assumption is that they see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved,rather than that of loving,of ones capacity to love.The second wrong assumption is that they see the problem of love as the problem of an object,not the problem of a faculty.The third error lies

31、in the confusion between the initial experience of“falling”in love,and the permanent state of being in love.Based on this analysis,Fromm maintains that love is an art just as living is an art;and,if we want to learn how to love we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn a

32、ny other art.He describesUnit 2 Is Love an Art?MIOTT2two crucial steps in the learning of an art;mastery of the theory and mastery of the practice.Essential to both of these steps,the mastery of the art must be a matter of the greatest concern nothing may be more important than it.When that art is t

33、he art of loving,nothing may be valued more than love itself.Unit 2 Is Love an Art?Introduction to the Author and the articleIntroduction to the Author and the Article Erich Fromm(1900-1980)was born in Frankfurt,Germany.After receiving his Ph.D.from the University of Heidelberg in 1922,he began his

34、career as a psychoanalyst,philosopher and writer.During his long and productive career,he taught and engaged in research in several institutes and universities in the United States and Mexico,as well as publishing many books and articles,including The Sane Society(1955)and The Art of Loving(1956).Un

35、it 2 Is Love an Art?Introduction to the Author and the article2 The following selection is chosen from The Art of Loving,which is considered his most famous work.In this selection Fromm states that people maintain wrong attitudes towards love and argues that love is an art,just as living is an art;i

36、n his view,if we want to learn how to love we must proceed in the same way we would if we wanted to learn any other art.Unit 2 Is Love an Art?Part2_T1 Is love an art?Then it requires knowledge and effort.Or is love a pleasant sensation,which to experience is a matter of chance,something one“falls in

37、to”if one is lucky?This little book is based on the former premise,while undoubtedly the majority of people today believe in the latter.Erich FrommIs Love an Art?TextUnit 2 Is Love an Art?Not that people think that love is not important.They are starved for it;they watch endless numbers of films abo

38、ut happy and unhappy love stories,they listen to hundreds of trashy songs about love yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love.This peculiar attitude is based on several premises which either singly or combined tend to uphold it.Most people see the problem o

39、f love primarily as that of being loved,rather than that of loving,of ones capacity to love.Hence the problem to them is how to be loved,how to be lovable.In pursuit of this aim theyPart2_T2Unit 2 Is Love an Art?follow several paths.One,which is especially used by men,is to be successful,to be as po

40、werful and rich as the social margin of ones position permits.Another,used especially by women,is to make oneself attractive,by cultivating ones body,dress,etc.Other ways of making oneself attractive,used both by men and women,are to develop pleasant manners,interesting conversation,to be helpful,mo

41、dest,inoffensive.Many of the ways to make oneself lovable are the same as those used to make oneself successful,“to win friends and influence people.”As a ED matter of fact,what most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.Part

42、2_T3Unit 2 Is Love an Art?Part2_T4 A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an object,not the problem of a faculty.People think that to love is simple,but that to find the right object to love or

43、to be loved is difficult.This attitude has several reasons rooted in the development of modern society.One reason is the great change which occurred in the twentieth century with respect to the choice of a“love object.”In the Victorian age,as in many traditional cultures,love was mostly not a sponta

44、neous personal experience which then might lead to marriage.On the contrary,marriage was contracted by convention either by theUnit 2 Is Love an Art?Part2_T5respective families,or by a marriage broker,or without the help of such intermediaries;it was concluded on the basis of social considerations,a

45、nd love was supposed to develop once the marriage had been concluded.In the last few generations the concept of romantic love has become almost universal in the Western world.In the United States,while considerations of a conventional nature are not entirely absent,to a vast extent people are in sea

46、rch of“romantic love,”of the personal experience of love which then should lead to marriage.This new concept of freedom in love must have greatly enhanced the importance of the object as against the importance of the function.Unit 2 Is Love an Art?Part2_T6 Closely related to this factor is another f

47、eature characteristic of contemporary culture.Our whole culture is based on the appetite for buying,on the idea of a mutually favorable exchange.Modern mans happiness consists in the thrill of looking at the shop windows,and in buying all that he can afford to buy,either for cash or on installments.

48、He(or she)looks at people in a similar way.For the man an attractive girl and for the woman an attractive man are the prizes they are after.“Attractive”usually means a nice package of qualities which are popular and sought after on the personality market.What specifically makes a person attractive d

49、epends on the fashion of the time,physically as well as mentally.Unit 2 Is Love an Art?Part2_T7During the twenties,a drinking and smoking girl,tough and sexy,was attractive;today the fashion demands more domesticity and coyness.At the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of this century,a man had

50、 to be aggressive and ambitious today he has to be social and tolerant in order to be an attractive“package.”At any rate,the sense of falling in love develops usually only with regard to such human commodities as are within reach of ones own possibilities for exchange.I am out for a bargain;the obje
