Love can appear in manifold ways: in the motherly affection and in the ecstasy of nature, in sacred prayers as well as in the intimate unification of lovers. That is to say, love constitutes the meaning of many, if not all regions of life. Yet, only in the most vivid biographies, the entire spectrum of love’s manifestations can be found. As it were, the phenomenology of love benefits from the diligent and faithful investigation of truly exceptional lives. One example is the biography of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who augmented his experience of love with his poetic abilities but also enabled his poetry by experiencing love. This chapter depicts the life of Goethe in order to highlight the different aspects in which love expresses itself. Throughout personal tragedies and greatest beatitude, Goethe was able to see love as the fabric that “holds the world together in its innermost core” (Faust I). The biographical experiences ultimately amount to a mutual meaning of the diverse aspects: cosmopolitan love. The notion is discussed in the context of Schelerian phenomenology of love.
