Reflections on Love in Our Lives:
Class | Registration opens 1/1/2025 12:00 AM
Because love comes in many forms, and people experience those forms in diverse ways. Scholars who write about love, have identified at least eight forms: philia (affectionate love), pragma (enduring love), storge (unconditional familial love), eros (romantic love), ludus (playful love), mania (obsessive love), philautia (self-love), agape (selfless love for others). The word philosophy literally means love of knowledge or wisdom, which explains why one kind of graduate degree is called doctor of philosophy. In this workshop, we will discuss some forms of love that each of us has experienced. Then we will write and share our writing.
