Platonic Dialogues about Love and the Other.

Professor Budziszewski is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas, Austin. Professor Budziszewski has several books on Natural law, which I'm going to have to locate.

He also has a column where approaches various contemporary issues in a classically socratic manner, including the dry ironic wit that Plato deploye in his dialogues. In this one, his character, Professor Theophilus, is faced with a confrontation by a student about the professor's "hatred" for homosexuals. The column is a very neat exposition of what the classical understanding of "love" entails.

Incidentally, I stumbled on Professor Budziszewski's column after a visit to Chris Burgwald's site where he advises that Professor Budziszewski is a recent convert to Catholicism, so one can never underestimate the subversive quality of Natural Law.
