Course Details

We will critically analyze notions of love, where our understandings of love have come from, and where we can proceed with a love consciousness. We will ponder and attempt to perceive how love is incorporated into our daily lives as members of communities. We will vision possible logic trajectories and frames of understandings in which love, or lack thereof, is included individually and societally. Musical, biological, philosophical, psychological, religious, political, cultural, and social perspectives of love will be discussed.
We will explore:
• ways in which love is expressed by human people
• words and metaphors associated with love in English and other languages
• where love is placed in different philosophical and scholarly schema
• historical concepts and discourses regarding human love
• how love can be a force for social action, resistance against oppressions, and positive change within our societal institutions
• what sorts of actions are attributed to human love
