Love

Harvard FAS

What is love? What, if any, reasons do we have to love others? And what is the connection (or tension) between love, on the one hand, and morality on the other? This course will use love to explore questions about the nature of reasons, moral psychology, partiality, impartiality and the foundations of ethics. The course will draw on both historical and contemporary authors— in exploring love and its place in a life well-lived. Permission is required to enroll in this course.
