Eros Unveiled: Plato and the God of Love - Clarendon Paperbacks
Osborne, Catherine (Lecturer in Philosophy, Lecturer in Philosophy, University College of Swansea)
This book challenges the traditional distinction between eros, the love found in Greek thought, and agape, the love characteristic of Christianity. By showing that Plato's account of eros is not founded on self-interest, the author restores the place of erotic love as a Christian motif, and unravels some long standing confusions in philosophical discussions about love.
