Paul Woodruff Lecture: Eros Philosophos

Paul Woodruff asks, “Will falling in love make you a better philosopher? Plato says yes, but only if you are a very special person. Will falling for philosophy make you a better lover? Same answer from Plato. In my talk I will ask how wisdom and love are connected, discuss Plato's answer, and suggest my own.” Woodruff has authored several books of original philosophy and scholarship; and has translated classical texts, including Plato’s Symposium (with Alexander Nehamas). He served as director of the Plan II Program for 15 years, and was UT Austin’s inaugural Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
