If virtue can in fact be classified as knowledge‚ and all knowledge can be taught‚ then we must conclude that virtue can in turn be taught. However‚ in saying

non-sexual love) and amour platonicien (love according to Plato) (Gould‚ 1963‚ p. 1). Two rectifications of the popular concept of Platonic love seem necessary in order to appreciate the relevance of Plato’s theory of love to contemporary problems. The first is related to the non-sexual aspect of the loving relationship‚ for Plato’s theory of love includes sex. The second is related to the heterosexual aspect of the loving relationship.
