by Jason Stotts Tonight Allan Gotthelf gave his lecture “Love and Philosophy: Aristotelian vs. Platonic” here at DU.

Oh, you’re impossible! You’re…I love you. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know why it should be like this. I love you and I can’t stand you. And also, I wouldn’t love you…if you were any different. But what you are – that frightens me…I don’t know why. It frightens me because it’s [...]
by Jason Stotts This essay took much longer than I anticipated to write and I ended up cutting out three sections that I had wanted to include just so I could finally put it online – so look for those in the future. Most of the main pieces of this essay are revisions of earlier [...]
