- Abstract
The article focuses on the radical love in English playwright William Shakespeare's "King Lear," and it emphasizes how love manifests through acts of rebellion and self-sacrifice. Topics include American philosopher Stanley Cavell's interpretation of Lear's avoidance of love, Kent R. Lehnhof's critique of interpersonal relations, and the interplay between sacrifice and community. It mentions the radical love is both a condemnation of blind obedience and a call for deeper human connections.
