Socrates in Love

Chris Phillips brings us a wide-ranging discussion on love, by examining the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates’ thoughts on the five kinds of love- family love, love of strangers, romantic love, love of friends and unconditional love. He does this through holding dialogues on love’s nature and potential in places like hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, the Hiroshima Peace Park in Japan and Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. He’ll join us to talk about the nature of love today and to tell us what came out of those talks he had all across the country.
