Adopting the analytic resources of the post-modern criticism of the Hegeliantheory of recognition, medieval Arab courtly love reveals a modernity -often unnoticed - in the way the topic of love is treated by its theoreticiansas a human experience of conflict between desire and Law. Actually, behindthe aesthetic of !arf , love theory seems to conceal a powerful and dramaticwill to impose an ethics to itself. On the one hand, martyrdom for love is theextreme outcome of a care for oneself which aims at a form of spirituality;on the other hand, ethics of courtly love expresses the vindication of alegitimate and lawful belonging to the realm of the human that is deniedby the normativity of law. From this point of contact and conflict betweennature and culture, between desire and social order, a particular discourseabout suffering of love seems to come to light; in submitting its legitimacyand its lawfulness to a hermeneutic of the law, that discourse is able toprovide a meaning and a form of recognition.
