PHL 3005 Love
What is love? Why does everyone speak about it, seek it, and why can so few tell you what it is? Why do we feel more alive when we love, and why does the world go grey when we don't? Why are we all in love with love? These are some of the questions with which philosophers and human beings generally have been concerned for over two thousand years. They are the crucial questions that this course will raise. It will also address some of the answers philosophers have given to these questions. It will include readings from thinkers as diverse as Plato, Frankfurt, and Aquinas.
