Philosophical Approaches of jealousy
Vision Girard
According to mimetic theory of Rene Girard , jealousy is a moment in the dynamics of human desire. It is inherently mimetic, that is to say that our desire is borrowed from a model who wants or has the object before us, and whose be fascinates us. The jealous man is convinced that being jealous is ahead in the possession of the object and it prohibits access. Complacency to maintain this feeling is that the existence of the obstacle posed by the jealous rival, reinforces the value of the object of rivalry, which increases the fascination of being happy which is supposed to rival the ideal of non-conscious subject.
According to Henri Laborit
Henri Laborit uses a different approach in which there is in itself neither jealousy nor instinct of property, but simply that we would build over time, and sometimes from the very early childhood, models combining the concept of deprivation than pain, and then unconsciously seek to create conditions to avoid these hazards pain.
Jealousy in love
Jealousy in love is an emotional impression of aggression that is the consequence of fear of losing a loved one or the exclusivity of his love for the benefit of another person - feelings that can be based on the imagination. When it is permanent, jealousy is a form of paranoia and is attached to a 'love' on a possessive way. In " Othello or the Moor of Venice , William Shakespeare makes Iago's jealousy to describe as a "green-eyed monster which produces the food it eats."
Jealousy in love can not be born if the partners have a relationship of trust. It is even more important than the jealous person feels that his psychological balance is based on being linked to the desired person. Jealousy is an issue of commitment.
Description

For example, a jealous lover hate to see or imagine his partner spend time with other men, not only because it is deprived of his presence, but also because it considers only legitimate beneficiary of attention her friend. The same feeling may be present in women and homosexual couples.
Jealousy occurs in the context of a three-way relationship where someone (the jealous, which can be of any gender) believes that a second person behaves third (a third person, group or something) in a way that threatens his view (wrongly or rightly) the couple's relationship. The designs of the jealous resentment, blame, he sent the other two, usually with a focus on the second person. The essence of jealous behavior is not in this healthy concern for the couple, nor is the acting, but the emotional intensity that accompanies excessive and undermines the success of this action.
The behavior of the second person provoking jealousy among the first, vary: a look, comment, donated item (s), small gifts, etc.. It can sometimes be jealous of any one group. Jealousy can even be triggered by a behavior usually considered harmless (just look someone in the street, for example). Jealousy also exposed when you love someone who is with someone else.
