Radical love encompasses many religious and social theories, and many are colloquial.

Academically, radical love is described by the spanish social scientist Jesús Gómez Alonso in his 2004 book. His model of love describes how sexual-affective relationships can be influenced by historical and socialization processes which then would explain gender violence. This theory has been used to prevent gender violence by SAFO, the Women’s Group at CREA.[1]

In addition, other critical pedagogues have described radical love in other terms (e.g., Paulo Freire and Joe L. Kincheloe).[2]

Radical love has also has been referenced by members of various social/political activist, religious, and spiritual communities. Some include Cornel West, bell hooks, David Kyuman Kim, George Lipsitz and David Kyuman Kim.

The term is not strictly defined, but the term 'radical' can mean a heterodoxy from traditional love. A description of this radical love was made by Martin Luther King, Jr. in his 1964 speech in South Africa.
