How to Love: Wise (And Not So Wise) Advice from the Great Philosophers (How to Live Minibooks) (Volume 2) 1º edição

Family Values, Sex and a little bit of Philosophy

If anyone can teach us about love, it really ought to be the great philosophers. But of course, being a lover of wisdom and a wise lover are two very different things. Just consider these famous philosophical chat-up-lines:

* Are you interested in immortality?
Diotima, a lady who, according to Plato, greatly impressed Socrates

? Do you have your sexual appetites under control? I do.
Kant, his advice to young people generally. And:

? Would you like to share my grapes?
Schopenhauer, who actually used this line (unsuccessfully) to chat up a young lady.
