Philosophy of Love

(7.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module will introduce students to important historical and contemporary literature on the philosophy of love and sex. Love and sex are widely accepted as essential to a flourishing human life, yet few of us actually think critically about love and sex despite the fact that they both play a fundamental role in our lives. This module will strengthen students' critical thinking skills while exploring the conceptual, moral, political, and metaphysical issues raised by love and sex. Students will be encouraged to explore the relationships between these topics and to consider their application to debates and practices outside of philosophy.
