E-Mail: anna. Person : I've written my Ph. D thesis about mutual suffering within loving relationships and its consequences for the concept of love.
I'm also a research affiliate at the Center for Positive Sexuality L. I currently live in Rostock. Academic Education : I finished my studies in Philosophy, English and German as a teaching profession with a thesis on the question Is there an Aesthetic Pleasure? I was committed to university policy for many years during my studies and I founded the undergraduate conference Dia:logos in Phd Project : In I started working on my PhD project On the Capability to Love aiming to understand the role that so-called deficient loving of mutually suffering lovers has for the concept of love Supervisor Matthias Vogel.
I am working on an integrative concept of love that is capable of explaining in how far to love always implies both options of success and deficit.
In order to understand how different emotions, abilities, actions, attitudes, dispositions and a certain loving posture hang together and contribute to a loving relation, I apply Aristotelian metaphysics and suggest to understand romantic love as one type of Aristotelian philia.
This enables me to highlight learning and make sense of the possibility of failure in loving. Project in development : In I started on a project with the working title Sex Speech.
