{"product_id":"eros-unveiled-catherine-osborne-9780198267669","title":"Eros Unveiled: Plato and the God of Love","description":"This unique book challenges the traditional distinction between \u003cem\u003eeros\u003c\/em\u003e, the love found in Greek thought, and \u003cem\u003eagape\u003c\/em\u003e, the love characteristic of Christianity. Focusing on a number of classic texts, including Plato's \u003cem\u003eSymposium\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLysis\u003c\/em\u003e, Aristotle's \u003cem\u003eEthics\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMetaphysics, \u003c\/em\u003e, and famous passages in Gregory of Nyssa, Origen, Dionysius the Areopagite, Plotinus, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, the author shows that Plato's account of \u003cem\u003eeros\u003c\/em\u003e is not founded on self-interest. In this way, she restores the place of erotic love as a Christian motif, and unravels some longstanding confusions in philosophical discussions of love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198267665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198267669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.42w x 0.64d","brand":"Catherine Osborne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119422042367,"sku":"9780198267669","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbfb6940-cca1-4f52-b627-a7d594309585.jpg?v=1687409256","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eros-unveiled-catherine-osborne-9780198267669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
