The idea that humans can love each other appears very normal and familiar in the age and time we live in, although it was not before the emergence of the love strand which is being dealt with in this paper. Claimed to have different possible origins, the tradition of Courtly Love emerged as a reaction to the prevalent religious and feudal practices of the time. The first of these made love too restricted and idealistic, while the latter reduced it to a petty bargain. Coupled with this was the strand of Classical Philosophy on the subject that supported the views of the religious elite and made it easier for them to strengthen and enforce their views. In this paper a brief introduction of this reactionary movement that introduced democratic norms in the sphere of love will be discussed. Effort has been made to briefly trace its whereabouts along with its treatment by important scholars of the field particularly with the viewpoints of Plato and Aristotle.
