N2 - This chapter explores the claim that our nature as loving beings can explain our nature as moral beings. Are we able to make sense of such a claim and if so, how? This chapter aims to offer a possible philosophical answer by distinguishing among several kinds of loves and relating them to what I call different moral dimensions of our existence. The moral dimensions that I distinguish correspond to dimensions that philosophers have traditionally applied to explain our nature as moral beings. If my answer is appealing, then we have a naturalized account of morality that leaves space for a variety of philosophical views.
