How To Love: Wise (And Not So Wise) Advice From The Great Philosophers (How To Live Minibooks)

MAKE LOVE LIKE A PHILOSOPHER "Family Values, Sex and a little bit of Philosophy" If anyone can teach us about love, it really ought to be the great philosophers. But of course, being a lover of wisdom and a wise lover are two very different things. Just consider these famous philosophical chat-up-lines: " * Are you interested in immortality?" Diotima, a lady who, according to Plato, greatly impressed Socrates " Do you have your sexual appetites under control? I do." Kant, his advice to young people generally. And: " Would you like to share my grapes?" Schopenhauer, who actually used this line (unsuccessfully) to chat up a young lady. For better or (more likely) for worse, here are some of philosophy's most celebrated ideas and arguments on love and relationships. 9780957692770 0957692773 86 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=8gbMoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
