rather i add that the concept of platonic love even in the era of altawq did not suit ibn hazm but rather was an alien material to his famous realism. perhaps he took the idea from a philosophical angle and when he began to narrate examples of life experiences he did not find a meeting between the idea and reality. it is enough for you that a man admits that rape is sometimes a way to achieve love. what do you think he means when he says perhaps the lover follows his desire and gets on his head so he reaches his satisfaction from his beloved and deliberately seeks his pleasure from him in all ways whether he is angry or pleased? do you think this means anything other than the oppressive control and the implementation of the will that cannot be rejected!
بل أزيد فأقول إن مفهوم الحب الأفلاطوني، حتى في عهد الطوق لم يكن يلائم ابن حزم، وإنما كان مادة دخيلة على واقعيته الشاهرة، ولعله أخذ بالفكرة من زاوية فلسفية، فلما راح يسرد نماذج من تجارب الحياة، لم يجد بين الفكرة والواقع لقاء. وحسبك من امرئ يعترف بان الاغتصاب يكون أحيانا طريقا لتحقيق الحب، ماذا تراه يعني حين يقول وربما اتبع المحب شهوته وركب راسه، فبلغ شفاءه من محبوبه، وتعمد مسرته منه على كل الوجوه، سخط أو رضي ، اترى هذا يعني غير التحكم القاسر، وتنفيذ الإرادة التي لا رد لها!
