Socrates in Love: Philosophy for a Die-Hard Romantic by Christopher Phillips
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 268 MB
Overview: Christopher Phillips goes to the heart of philosophy and Socratic discourse to discover what we’re all looking for: the kind of love that makes life worthwhile. Love here is not defined only or even primarily as eros, but in all its classic varieties from love of family and love of neighbor to love of country, love of God, love of life, and love of wisdom. Phillips’s explorations take us from New Orleans at Mardi Gras and the gambling dens of Las Vegas to the last evangelical revival presided over by Billy Graham. He talks with moms and dads about “parent love,” with inmates of a maximum-security prison about “unconditional love,” with Hurricane Katrina refugees and a family who took them in, and with Japanese seniors and schoolchildren in Hiroshima Peace Park. Throughout, he enriches his dialogues with commentary on the great philosophers of love from the ancients to Rumi to Ayn Rand and Anais Nin.
