Teoría crítica del radical love

Abstract

The understanding of the sexual-affective relationships has historically not
been tackled by science, but placed in the context of instincts and irrationality. In this
sense, the critical theory of the Radical Love provides a contribution to critical pedagogy
allowing people to understand the mechanisms that direct their emotions and the
process of election in the sexual-affective relationships. It is about understanding who
do we fall in love for, why and to which values is this desire linked being able to have a
great repercussion in our lives as it provides us with the tools to develop satisfactory
sexual-affective relationships. It also offers us guidelines for a preventive education
regarding gender violence by enabling us to understand the attraction models in which
we have been socialised and which are influencing our desire and elections.
