LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP IN PLATO AND ARISTOTLE
The aim of the seminar is to explore ideas of love, of friendship, and of the relation between them. We will take our starting point in Plato’s two dialogues on love, Phaedrus and Symposium, as well as his dialogue Lysis in which he combines love and friendship. We will examine the psychological, moral and existential import of Plato’s ideas, and bring them into conversation with cognate or opposed modern views, including Nietzsche, Christianity and Kant.
