Philosopher

Last Friday the wise man Lau has made a great radio programme inviting two Professors of Philosophy to talk about Love.

The two professors were Prof. Man and Prof. Cheung from my university. I used to attend a talk of Prof. Cheung on Symposium when in the end of the my first year of university life. He was a humble man. Perhaps he was more humble than Socrates, since he refused to call himself a philosopher despite his knowledge on philosophy, while Socrates declared himself a philosopher though he said he knew nothing! It is sensible. The more you live with knowledge and philosophy, the more you know the limitlessness of the wisdom is.

Professor started the conversation with the material from Symposium again. It again showed the importance of it. How can you talk about love without talking about Symposium? And yet, as he mentioned, Symposium was only one of three philosophies of Love in this world. While the love of Socrates means the pursuit of Good (which follows that we must take away all the bad in our life), other philosophers like Aristotle commented Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Because of the other body, you will try to become virtue and wise. Of course, the last philosophy of Love in this world would be from Jesus Christ. "I love you, therefore, you are beautiful." It is about Sacrifice.

The philosophy of love should be spread out so everyone knows it, and people will make fewer mistakes.
