They discuss the meanings and nuances of eros (sexual/passionate love), philia (soulful friendship), storge (familial love), pragma (longstanding love), ludus (playful/fun love), mania (obsessive love), meraki (wholehearted creativity), philiautia (self-love), and agape (unconditional love). 


SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
