Résumé
Universal love sounds beautiful under the pen of Pope Francis. But genuine generosity towards other peoples seems quite utopic, heroic, or restricted to some holy men and women. At the same time the pope dedicates his encyclical to all people of good will . How can we understand the pope’s aspiration?In this text, I aim to show how Thomas Aquinas’ thought is useful to understand properly the pope’s conception of the relationship between universal love and particular friendship. While doing this, I will work as a philosopher. As the philosopher seeks for reasons, I will look for the reason why the pope says that universal love is fostered by particular love.
