This course is offered only during the Spring 2007 semester. The course provides a detailed study of Plato's and Aristotle's discussions of love and friendship. The principle texts studied are Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus, two masterpieces not only of philosophical writing, but of world-literature. In addition, we shall read Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics VIII and IX. Questions raised by these texts include 'How can we explain love What happens when we fall in love Are we just in a temporary state of the mind Or is there something more permanent about love If so, what is it And why do we fall in love with some people and not with others Is every love-relationship/friendship the same, or are there different kinds of friendship If so, how do these differences come about And what is the relationship between love and poetry, music, and art ' Besides discussing these questions, the course will pay close attention to the literary aspects of Plato's dialogues.
