   *"Love and Meaning”*

   **

   *Our speaker, Sam Shaoall*, *Lecturer in Philosophy at the
   University of Sydney, will discuss: “*Perennial philosophical
   questions about love remain unresolved. Is love an emotion, a mode
   of willing, or a special kind of cognition? Is love under our
   control, and can we be evaluated for it? Is love rational, or merely
   an expression of arbitrary passions? Is love a moral virtue, or a
   more mixed blessing? I begin to sort through these difficult
   questions by offering an account of love that rejects the common
   idea that love for persons is distinct from love for other kinds of
   objects, and that distinguishes love from other psychological
   phenomena via its connection to the perception of meaning.”
