Exploring the complex nature of self-love, the book delves into St. Augustine of Hippo's perspective, highlighting its duality as both an expression of love for God and a potential form of hatred. It examines the universal tendency of self-love while emphasizing the necessity of aligning it with divine love. The text presents conflicting assertions about self-love, prompting a deep reconciliation of these ideas and their implications for understanding human relationships with God and oneself.
