There are two widely-held intuitions about morality. One is the claim that all
persons have equal moral worth; the other is that sometimes we are morally allowed or
even required to give preference to those individuals whom we love. How can we justify
our reasons of love in the face of moral egalitarianism? As of recently, there are three
mutually competing accounts of why it could be said that we have reasons of love: (i)
the projects view, (ii) the relationship view, and (iii) the individuals view. In this paper,
I first examine these three views and find fault with each of them as they stand. I then
proceed to propose a complex, yet a more compelling, account of reasons of love that
builds on the individuals view
