Oct 28: Henrik Lagerlund “From Eros to Agape: Love in Ancient and Medieval Times”
There have been different views of love through the ages. The contrast between eros or sexual/passionate love and agape or unconditional/self-less love have long dominated Western society. In this presentation I will trace some of the more important views developed in Greek thought and transmitted into the Christianity through the Bible and the Church Fathers. I will discuss what use these traditional views of love still have in our modern fragmented society.
