Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the teaching of philosophy and Eros. We seek to think from Plato in his work The Banquet and Byung-Chul Han's The Agony of Eros. What is it to teach philosophy? Is it possible to teach the unteachable? In this way, reflecting on Eros and the teaching of philosophy allows us to investigate the importance of Eros in the act of philosophizing. From this perspective, love is born in negativity, it is untimely! And we ask: "is there still room for love"? "Is there room to think about love/knowledge? With this society of tiredness and transparency, is there still room for love? As Han puts it: "It is thought today that love is perishing because of unlimited freedom of choice, numerous options and the coercion of the optimum, and that in a world of unlimited possibilities, love is not possible. " [1] Too much reason? Technological extension? Denial of the other? A high level of positivity? Narcissistic self-reference? This being said, we plunge into a reflection on love and the act of teaching philosophy.
