DESCRIPTION:<p><em>J. David Velleman&rsquo\;s &lsquo\;</em>Love as a Moral Emotion<em>&rsquo\; is an attempt to show that love need not conflict with morality\, as the latter is defined by Kant.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;He does this by moving away from a definition of love in terms of desire\, and presenting it instead as a kind of appreciation\, akin to Kantian respect.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;In this paper I argue that this distinction is wrongly conceived\, that love is both appreciative and conative\, and further that the phenomenon Velleman points to as distinguishing love from respect &ndash\; vulnerability &ndash\; is inherently involved in respect as well.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;I claim that the Kantian picture of an autonomous\, rational self distorts our experience of love\, and that we do better to understand love as revealing a pre-existing vulnerability that calls into question not only the Kantian picture of love\, but of respect and of the self as well.</em></p>
