Book Edition Details
Summary
Within the vibrant clamor of an ancient Athenian soirée, intellectual titans assemble to unravel the enigma of eros—desire in its myriad forms. This is no ordinary discourse; it is a profound odyssey into the heart of human passion and virtue. As each philosopher presents a unique tapestry of thought, they weave together themes of gender roles, societal norms, and the divine nature of love. Socrates, enigmatic and revolutionary, dares to transcend the corporeal, proposing a love that elevates the spirit beyond earthly confines. "The Symposium," a timeless dialogue by Plato, challenges and enchants, inviting readers to ponder love as a cosmic force and a path to higher wisdom. Rediscover a classic, where every word is an invitation to think deeply and love boldly.
