Today we're talking to. Professor Alex Mosley. He's a teacher. He's also a coach. He also wrote the encyclopedia entry for love and philosophy. So who better to talk to? We'll link to the internet encyclopedia entry on that in the show notes. So be sure to check it out and. Here we talk about love and we tried to go past traditional boundaries. Both of us were trained in philosophy, both analytic and continental, but both of us also have a--what shall I say--more explorative side as well, when it comes to trying to understand the world. So we just sorta let it all go where it would. We meander and go into all kinds of [00:01:00] different ideas, some of them, which analytic philosophers might not like, but, also some of them which make me uncomfortable, but you know, that's part of the show is just trying to see where we can go and how we can find new ways to look at these things that seem not to go together or seem to make us uncomfortable....Full intro and notes here.Care is not the opposite of love.
