1:00Now PlayingPlato described two types of love:
1. “Vulgar love” focuses on superficial qualities, such as beauty or desirability, and is often fleeting.
2. “Pure love” is a deeper, more spiritual connection that moves beyond the physical and seeks to appreciate the essence or true nature of a person.
Plato considered vulgar love to be inferior because it is tied to the material world and transitory desires, while pure love aspires to higher, eternal values.
Do you think it is possible for a relationship to balance both “vulgar love” and “pure love?” @philosophyminis explores.
