摘要:Reflecting on the importance of virtues in the study of morality, we aim to investigate the participants’ judgments regarding the concept of love. We interviewed seven people, with ages comprising from childhood to elderly. We researched what each one regarded as an example of love, and of those, which would be the most and least important. We found that younger participants highlighted a love directed to others, without defining who this other would be. However, the older ones cite more family and friends. The justifications for the choice of the examples of love emphasize personal experience or examples of other people. Although the example chosen as most important refers to a love of God or a concern with another, this choice relates to the consequences that this would bring to oneself. In this explora -tory work, we look to highlight the extent and importance of studying this subject in the field of morality.
