Cecille's Creativity

"How does the concept of Pope Benedict XVI about Eros and Agape grounded on man's substantial union?"

This question was part of our quiz in whom our professor in Philosophy of Human Person (subject) convey to us. Here is my answer:

If Eros, its physicality and Agape, its spirituality are not represented in man, thus they can't never be specified. Man is both body and soul. Man's body is represented by Eros and man's soul is represented by Agape (spirituality). Thus, man is both composed of these two dimensions, Eros and Agape which can never be separated. The union of these two dimensions defines the true nature of man. Eros can't live without Agape and Agape can't live without Eros. They are co-dependent with each other. That is why, marriage is saturated because of the marriage of both body and soul in man.
