Eros and psyche: the co-institution of philosophy
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This essay proposes an analysis of the narrative of Eros and Psyche by Apuleius, extracting from it two main themes for reflection. The first is a critique of the way philosophy is commonly understood, as being disconnected from love, the body, and beauty. The second theme is the proposal for how a healthy philosophical thought can be co-established. This essay aims to continue Apuleius' proposal and, consequently, to rethink the ideas that are commonly held in the West about love and thought, from his legacy.
