Philosophy Meetup

Welcome to our Philosophy Meetup in Kyoto!

In this meeting, we will begin by exploring the theme of love, relationships & monogamy.

Our discussion will start with Aristotle's concept of self-love, followed by an examination of Agape in ancient Greek philosophy and its interpretation by Jesus Christ.

Next, we will delve into Simone de Beauvoir's existential philosophy, focusing on her ideas of non-monogamy in loving relationships.

Finally, we will wrap up by examining new perspectives on monogamy and polyamory as presented by Dr. Ellie Anderson and Dr. David Peña-Guzmán.
