further discussions on eros

My friend Kevin Boileau, J.D., Ph.D., LL.M. had me on his radio show again this weekend -- the discussion concerned eros and different ideas about it from the ancient world -- looking at the Indian, Greek and Roman gods of love, and ideas from Socrates, Plato and Aristotle on psychological questions, especially concerning enkratia (self-control) and akrasia (weakness of will) in relation to erotic impulse and sexual ethics ... also cresis, aphrodisia, hedone, epithumia and sophrosune
