PHIL 312 - Philosophy of Love and Emotion

Unit(s): 4

Students examine the nature of love and emotion through a philosophically informed interdisciplinary framework. Philosophy provides the means for integrating recent empirical theories of love from psychology, biology and neuroscience.

Students integrate these diverse theoretical approaches using the tools of philosophy. Winter and Summer Intercession
