You are invited to: The Philosophy of Love and Relationships
I’m proud of my wife, Kasey, for taking on the responsibility of organizing our next Plato’s Academy Centre virtual conference. Kasey and her co-author, clinical psychologist Scott Waltman, are currently working on their latest book, which will be about Stoicism and cognitive-behavioural therapy self-help for relationships. She has put together an amazing program of speakers for the event, which is called The Philosophy of Love and Relationships.
This is a free event, although donations are welcome — as they help us to continue doing similar events in the future. Everyone is welcome, and don’t worry if you’re in a different time zone — a full recording will be sent to everyone who registers in advance.
My aim is practical: it is to extinguish cruel flames,
and from love's fetters to free the captive heart. — Ovid, Remedia Amoris
We’ve been thinking about running an interdisciplinary event of this kind for a few years now. So it’s great to see it finally happening. We’re sure the experts will give you a wide range of insights in the the challenges we face in love and relationships, including some valuable practical advice. We’ve invited a range of academic philosophers, classicists, and psychologists to present.
Speakers include:
Prof. Michael Fontaine, author of How to Get Over a Breakup: An Ancient Guide to Moving On — based on the famous Remedia Amoris of the Roman poet Ovid
Dr. Helen Marie, author of Choose You — an expert on trauma, attachment, and relationships
Prof. Armand D'Angour, author of Socrates in Love and How to Talk about Love — an ancient guide for modern lovers, based on Plato’s masterpiece the Symposium
Dr. Kore Nissenson Glied and Anna White, co-hosts of The Type C Personality podcast — experts on helping people-pleasers overcome burnout
And many more…
