In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4th_century_bc 4th century BC], the Greek philosopher [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato Plato] argued that [[love]] directs the bonds of [[human]] [[society]]. In his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symposium_(Plato) Symposium], Eryximachus, one of the narrators in the dialog, states that love goes far beyond simple [[attraction]] to human [[beauty]]. He states that it occurs throughout the [[animal]] and [[plant]] kingdoms, as well as throughout the [[universe]]. Love directs everything that occurs, in the realm of the gods as well as that of humans (186a–b).

Eryximachus reasons that when various opposing elements such as wet and dry are "animated by the proper species of [[Love]], they are in [[harmony]] with one another ... But when the sort of Love that is crude and impulsive [[controls]] the seasons, he brings [[death]] and destruction" (188a). Because it is love that guides the relations between these sets of [[opposites]] throughout [[existence]], in every case it is the higher form of love that brings harmony and cleaves toward the [[good]], whereas the impulsive vulgar love creates disharmony.

Plato concludes that the highest form of [[love]] is the greatest. When love "is directed, in temperance and [[justice]], towards the [[good]], whether in [[heaven]] or on [[earth]]: [[happiness]] and good fortune, the bonds of human [[society]], concord with the gods above—all these are among his gifts" (188d).

In the 1660s, the Dutch philosopher [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoza Spinoza] wrote, in his ''Ethics of Human Bondage or the Strength of the Emotions'', that the term bondage relates to the human infirmity in moderating and checking the [[emotions]]. That is, according to Spinoza, "when a man is prey to his [[emotions]], he is not his own master, but lies at the [[mercy]] of fortune."
