We are pleased to welcome Professor Armand D’Angour, of Jesus College, Oxford, to join members of the Kosmos Society for an Open House discussion on “How to Talk about Love: Plato’s Symposium.”
The earliest and most brilliant philosophical treatment of Love is Plato’s dialogue Symposium. In it, a group of seven men, including the comic playwright Aristophanes and the philosopher Socrates, offer speeches describing what they think love is. The answer may not be clear, but the discussion still has resonances for thinking about love today.
The Open House will be held on March 28th at 11:00 am Eastern Time.
To prepare for the event, you might like to read: What does Platonic love really mean?
The event will be recorded. You can watch on the Kosmos Society YouTube channel. For further videos, please visit the Watch page.
Armand D’Angour is Professor of Classics at Jesus College, Oxford. His recent books include Socrates in Love (2019) and How to Talk about Love (2025).
