Exploring the nature of love, the author argues that it is not merely a passion that overwhelms the will but a conscious choice requiring consent. Drawing on Stoic philosophy, the text emphasizes that love involves a deliberate desire to be affected by another person, intertwining love with human freedom rather than presenting it as a force that negates autonomy. This perspective has sparked debates and critiques, particularly regarding the nuanced understanding of the human will that underpins Marion's exploration of eroticism.
