Proceedings from Philosophy of Love Volume 1 Spring 2017

Philosophy of Love is one of many courses offered at LaGuardia Community College (CUNY) in the Philosophy and Critical Thinking Program. The journal is a collection of student work inspired by the readings and discussions from HUP 215 during the Spring 2017 semester. Inside you will find each student's final paper along with a critical review and a response from the author. The format reflects the dialectical process that we embarked on during class discussions up and down the ladder of love. The ascent is a challenging struggle. The dialectic continues motivated by a love for wisdom self and others chiseling away as we sculpt our characters in the pursuit of the good life.
