Season 5: "Book Lunch" Part 3 of Irving Singer's "The Nature of Love"

Thanks to everyone who was there Saturday for this last episode ( Part 3) of our multi part "Book Lunch" series on Irving Singer's beautiful and deep, "The Nature of Love". We had a great crowd and such a blast and if you missed it, enjoy it anytime here! This is the Last episode of my Series on Irving Singer's three volume book "The Nature Of Love". More on this very special series, here: Inside this new book series with your host, Mitch Hampton: “The Nature Of Love”, by Irving Singer. Both the books and the discussion will be a little different than most discussions of the subject. Singer was a brilliant philosopher and scholar of the arts and humanities and, though the subject is Love, the approach is intellectual history: rather than psychology episodes or the equivalent the aim is not to forever once and for all define what Love is or how to love but rather, how different eras have actually viewed and practiced the subject. Singer’s work is most wide ranging, including rather deep discussions of Shakespeare, Martin Luther, Plotinus, Proust and more. Instead of an episode a volume I will use a non-linear approach to help Singer’s pluralistic overview both of what commonalities humans have evidenced over many years, but, more clearly, what great differences. And above all, Singer makes artists and thinkers the main characters in his story. #mit #philosophy #romance #love #sex #religion #plato #martinluther #plotinus #shakespeare #socrates #france #proust #freud #psychoanalysis #literature #art #poetry #dhlawrence #georgebernardshaw #antiquity #democracy #monarchy #england #france #greece #christianity #judaism #buddhism #islam #feminism Wordsworth #keats #milton#BookLunch #author #TheNatureOfLove #IrvingSinger #MitchHampton#BookLunch #IrvingSinger #podcast #TheNatureOfLove #books#authorsoffacebook
