Love is an animating force in much of human life. It has affected you, and everyone you know, directly or otherwise; perhaps it is even the meaning of life itself.

Literature, poetry, and philosophy has been grappling with the subject of love since time immemorial. In our time, there is a growing scientific interest in getting to the bottom of love.

In this special seminar to which you are invited, we will touch on some of the major insights, themes, findings, and breakthroughs in understanding love.
