In my paper I take on two tasks. First, I examine some recent publications which take a largely neuroscientific perspective on the topic of “love”. My purpose here is to highlight and discuss some problems with the arguments presented. Second, I shed some light on presuppositions that, often tacitly, influence neuroscientific approaches and bias conclusions. The question I would like to finally address is what is the meaning of love, and how can we make sense of this fundamental human experience, if we identify it with mere brain states.
