Quote from ‘Evolutionary Love’

Term: 
Agapasm
Quote: 

The agapastic development of thought should, if it exists, be distinguished by its purposive character, this purpose being the development of an idea. We should have a direct agapic or sympathetic comprehension and recognition of it by virtue of the continuity of thought.
