From Desire to Divine Wisdom: “Symposium” by Plato
Symposium by Plato is a philosophical dialogue centered around a banquet in ancient Athens, where several prominent figures, including Socrates, gather to discuss the nature of love. This edition also features:
- Plato's early years.
- His relationship with Socrates and their travels.
- The renowned Academy at Athens.
- His enduring legacy.
Each guest gives a speech about what they believe love is and how it affects people’s lives. One guest, Aristophanes, tells a story about how humans were once whole beings, split in half by the gods, and that love is the desire to find your other half and become whole again. Another speaker, Socrates, shares what he learned from a wise woman named Diotima. According to Diotima, love is more than just physical or romantic—it is a desire to find beauty, truth, and wisdom. She explains that love helps people grow and become better by inspiring them to seek out higher, spiritual forms of beauty and goodness.
In “Symposium”, Plato explores the idea that love is a powerful force that motivates people to improve themselves and strive for deeper understanding and fulfillment, making it not just about relationships but also about personal and spiritual growth.
