Originally published in 1960 by Fr. Karol Wojtyła (the future Pope John Paul II Love and Responsibility

Wojtyła breaks down love into several dimensions, moving beyond the purely sentimental. He delves into the metaphysical, psychological, and ethical analysis of love, exploring how authentic love involves a true and objective assessment of the beloved. He notes a common psychological phenomenon: in the early stages of sentimental love, people tend to idealize the value of the other person “out of all proportion” to who they are in reality. True responsibility, therefore, requires a clear-eyed acceptance of the other person as they are, not as we wish them to be. This self-giving love is, by its very nature, fecund and oriented towards the good of the other, making procreation a principle end of marriage within this personalistic unity.
