This paper focuses on the concept of love in the texts of Hegel's Frankfurt and early Jena period.The article is divided into three parts.In the first part,we carried on the exploration of the sources of Hegel's concept of love.There are two main influencing factors of ancient Greek and Romantic,and the love of Jesus is its main foundation.In the second part,we examine Hegel's criticism of two popular methods of studying natural law in modern times.They mainly include the empirical approach represented by Hobbes and the research method of reflective formalism represented by Kant and Fichte.Then he developed the concept of a unique ethic,of which love is the core.The third part focuses on the concept of love as ontological meaning,which is different from the emotion of love,is a kind of reconciliation and synthesis,and its influence on Feuerbach and Marx.Hegel rejects the idea that atomism simply interprets human relations as a relationship of interest.He offered to use love as a way of reaffirming the human reconciliation and reconciliation of man and God.This reconciliation was mainly presented in his Frankfurt time as love of Jesus.This love really transcends the laws of Moses and the moral imperative of Kant,which is the combination of living life.It is a reconciliation of crime and fate,in which people can give up and live forever.However,he was also aware of the weakness of this spiritual love.So after he turned his attention to the political economy during the Jena period,he put his love into ethics.He did not agree that the natural law was only understood as natural rights in modern times,but emphasized the importance of the ancient Greek custom,which was regarded as an important factor of ethics.Similarly,he rejects the idea that marriage is a contract,and considers it an ethical moment.The affection of love is the foundation of the marriage family.In the family,members recognize each other through love and abandon their individual naturalness to the universal ethical world.And in the broader ethical world,the emotion of love is relegated to the second,the idea of love—reconciliation itself becomes the ultimate goal of “struggle for recognition”.It is the intersubjective identity of identity and nonidentity for each other.That is finally towards: “I” that is “We” and “We” that is “I”.
