Sumario:The aim of this paper is to explore the way in which Joaquim Xirau and Miguel de Unamuno conceived love. While there is no sufficient reason to believe that Unamuno had a direct and philosophically relevant influence on Xirau’s work, we can conclude that the way in which both authors conceived love bears certain similarities. The two coincide in conceiving a loving giving of oneself as an act of self-affirmation that brings with it an increase in one’s own singularity. Both Unamuno and Xirau also conceive of the act of lovingly giving oneself as an act which, though arising from the individual themselves and not from how the world actually is, personifies that which is loved, thus what is loved ceases to be seen as a mere object and appears under a personal form. Furthermore, and although in a different way, both make the biblical narrative about the life and Resurrection of Christ a central aspect of their ways of understanding love.
