The philosophy of love — from Plato to contemporary

Philosophy has been thinking seriously about love since Socrates sat with Agathon at the Symposium, and the conversation has not stopped. Contemporary philosophy of love grapples with questions Plato raised and adds new ones: whether love is a response to value or the creator of it, whether love requires constancy across change, what love's relationship to justice might be. This domain surveys the philosophical tradition and extracts what remains genuinely useful.
