The Heart contains one of Hildebrand’s most important contributions to the perennial tradition. Hildebrand believes that “the affective sphere, and the heart at its center, have been more or less under a cloud throughout the entire course of the history of philosophy.” In this important work, Hildebrand reveals the importance of affectivity in understanding the world objectively, and shows how the heart is the most important center of human activity.
He offers rich analyses of what he calls affective atrophy and affective hypertrophy. The second half of The Heart offers a remarkable analysis of the affectivity of the God-Man.
