PHIL 20214 - Ancient Wisdom and Modern Love, Spring 2007
Document Actions
Built around Plato's Symposium, Shakespeare (including A Midsummer Night's Dream), Catholic writings (including Humanae Vitae), and several movies, this course explores the nature of romance and erotic love. We will examine such topics as sexuality, marriage, and procreation with an eye towards how we can be better at being in love. The course generally tries to integrate the analytic approach of philosophy with the imaginative approach of literature, such that what we read (or watch) will put us in a position to help our own thoughtfulness along.
