Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of Plato's Symposium, a text that explores the nature of love, beauty, and the pursuit of wisdom. Set against the backdrop of a lively banquet, the author examines the diverse perspectives offered by the guests, ranging from poets and physicians to the philosopher Socrates himself. Through a close reading of the dialogue, the book uncovers the philosophical underpinnings of Plato's thought. It sheds light on his theories of knowledge, virtue, and the immortality of the soul, while also exploring the role of love as a driving force in human existence. By examining the interplay between eros (physical love) and agape (spiritual love), the book delves into the complexities of human desire and the search for fulfillment. The author's insights into Plato's philosophical system and its enduring relevance to contemporary thought make this book an invaluable resource for students of philosophy, classics, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of one of the most influential philosophical texts in Western history.
