What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

I'm preparing to teach excerpts from Book 4 of Castiglione's Courtier tomorrow. This is always one of my absolute favorite parts of the class, because it's where we begin to discuss the nature and effects of love. And it's fun to clarify the various ways love can be defined, because the students haven't really thought about it all that much.

It's basically a chance for me to open up the throttle all the way. How I love it.
