Description

MAKE LOVE LIKE A PHILOSOPHER Family Values, Sex and a little bit of Philosophy If anyone can teach us about love, it really ought to be the great philosophers. But of course, being a lover of wisdom and a wise lover are two very different things. Just consider these famous philosophical chat-up-lines: * Are you interested in immortality? Diotima, a lady who, according to Plato, greatly impressed Socrates - Do you have your sexual appetites under control? I do. Kant, his advice to young people generally. And: - Would you like to share my grapes? Schopenhauer, who actually used this line (unsuccessfully) to chat up a young lady. For better or (more likely) for worse, here are some of philosophy's most celebrated ideas and arguments on love and relationships.

Author Biography:

Martin Cohen has established a worldwide reputation as a radical philosopher and unconventional thinker. His two introductions to philosophy, 101 Philosophy Problems and 101 Ethical Dilemmas have been translated into many different languages including an underground, samizdat version in Iran. He has also written an 'anti-history' of great philosophers, called Philosophical Tales and is the author of the UK edition of Philosophy for Dummies.
