http://ocw.nd.edu 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. daily 1 2008-01-25T05:25:48Z http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/writing-assignments-1 (course_default) 2009-10-07T19:43:17Z Folder text/plain http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/ancient-wisdom-modern-love.zip admin 2009-10-07T19:44:05Z FSSFile application/zip http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/exams-1 (course_default) 2009-10-20T16:10:10Z Folder text/plain http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/discussion-questions administrator 2009-10-07T19:39:54Z Folder text/plain http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/images administrator 2009-10-07T19:39:17Z Folder text/plain http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/lecture-notes administrator 2009-10-07T19:38:33Z Folder text/plain http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/videos administrator 2008-01-25T05:40:51Z Folder text/plain http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/readings List of readings for the course.
