The highest form of love in Greek philosophy and Christian theology—unconditional, selfless love for all people regardless of circumstance.
From Greek 'agapē' (love), used in early Christian texts. It was chosen by the early church to describe divine love, contrasting with 'eros' (romantic love) and 'philia' (friendship).
The three Greek words for love—agape, eros, and philia—gave Western culture a vocabulary for different kinds of love that we still use in songs, psychology, and philosophy today! Medieval monks spent their whole lives studying this one concept.
