Abstract

„Oh Love! What can I tell about you?”. The praise of the love
in the works of Hugh of St. Victor
Summary
Hugh of St. Victor was one of the most important theologians, exegetes, educators
and mystics in the twelfth century. One of the topics which he undertook
was the value of love. In his very short, but very influential works, he expressed an
extraordinary praise of love. Love is defined by him as both a road, as the one who
accompanies the road, and also as the purpose of the road. Love is an agent which
equates divine and human reality, because only in this way man can be saved and
his happiness fully realized. Recognition the law of God and justice is effect of the
faith, but their realization is the works of love. Although the approach of love has its
source in St. Augustine, however, the main focus of it is the categories of running
and rest (cursus et requies), and not the category of inclination or impetus (pondus).
