Does German philosophy have anything useful to say about love and dating today? Is it still relevant? No prior knowledge of philosophy is needed here! Zevan, our host and an avid reader of philosophy, will guide us through the key ideas, and together, we’ll unpack what famous thinkers like Erich Fromm and Arthur Schopenhauer have said about love and relationships. From Fromm’s The Art of Loving to Schopenhauer’s Instinct of Sex, we’ll ask if these perspectives contain universal truths about love—or if they’re just one cultural take that may not even hold water in Chinese society._x000D_
