About the lecture
In the context of Aristotle, much of the discussion on love is about friendship and especially self-love’s relation to friendship. Yet very little attention has been devoted to the role of love. The speaker will discuss the nature, kinds and objects of love in Aristotle's works and how these are integral to the harmony that is the virtuous individual. About the speaker
