Download or read book Eros at the Banquet written by Louise Pratt and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After studying ancient Greek for a year, students often become discouraged when presented with unabridged classical texts that offer only minimal supportive apparatus. In welcome contrast, this intermediate-level textbook reinforces the first-year lessons and enables students to read Plato's Symposium, one of the most engaging works in Attic Greek, the dialect taught in most first-year courses. To meet the needs of students who are reading extended passages of challenging Greek for the first time, Louise Pratt, a classical scholar with more than twenty years' teaching experience, has lightly condensed the early readings, supplementing them with review exercises and new vocabulary. She includes the remaining portion of the dialogue in its entirety to give students the experience of reading Plato's imaginative dialogue in all its richness. All readings are glossed, with explanatory notes appearing on the same page as the relevant texts. Enlivened by twenty-five illustrations, Eros at the Banquet also features an introduction explaining the Symposium's historical and philosophical significance, a comprehensive glossary, and an up-to-date bibliography. Instructors may also supplement this volume with Pratt's The Essentials of Greek Grammar: A Reference for Intermediate Readers of Attic Greek, which includes many examples from the Symposium.

Book excerpt: Frisbee Sheffield argues that the Symposium has been unduly marginalized by philosophers. Although the topic - eros - and the setting at a symposium have seemed anomalous, she demonstrates that both are intimately related to Plato's preoccupation with the nature of the good life, with virtue, and how it is acquired and transmitted. For Plato, analysing our desires is a way of reflecting on the kind of people we will turn out to be and on our chances of leading a worthwhile and happy life. In its focus on the question why he considered desires to be amenable to this type of reflection, this book explores Plato's ethics of desire.

Download or read book Plato's Symposium written by Pierre Destrée and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato's Symposium is an exceptionally multi-layered dialogue. At once a historical document, a philosophical drama that enacts abstract ideas in an often light-hearted way, and a literary masterpiece, it has exerted an influence that goes well beyond the confines of philosophy. The essays in this volume, by leading scholars, offer detailed analyses of all parts of the work, focusing on the central and much-debated theme of erōs or 'human desire' - which can refer both to physical desire or desire for happiness. They reveal thematic continuities between the prologue and the various speeches as well as between the speeches themselves, and present a rich collection of contrasting yet complementary readings of Diotima's speech. The volume will be invaluable for classicists and philosophers alike, and for all who are interested in one of Plato's most fascinating and challenging dialogues.

Book excerpt: In this work, Love is examined in a sequence of speeches by men attending a symposium, or drinking party. Party-goers celebrating Agathon's first victory in a drama contest decide to do something besides drink themselves into a stupor because they are still paying for such activity the night before. Socrates joins the group on this second night, and it is decided that each man in turn will offer his praises to love. Each of six men offer their interesting, diverse thoughts on the matter, ranging form the conventional to the Socratic ideal. Symposium is one of the major works of Plato, and one of the works that laid a foundation for the entire history of Western thought. In a way, it's a romantic discussion, filled with zeal towards the beauty, the passion for philosophy as a search for truth. It is a romantic text written more than two thousand years before romanticism. The Symposium is inarguably one of Plato's most influential, most important texts and is required reading for anyone seriously interested in philosophy as it has existed and continues to exist in Western society. -- From back cover.

Book excerpt: ✆A translated and revised work IDEAL FOR LOVERS OF A GOOD READ → Quality works to enjoy on your kindle. Plato says in his work: Here, then, is the correct method of approaching erotic questions or of being led by another: starting with the beautiful things of this world and having as an end that beauty in question and, using them as scales, constantly ascending, going from a single body to two and from two to all beautiful bodies and from beautiful bodies to the beautiful rules of conduct, and from the rules of conduct to the beautiful sciences, until finishing, starting from these, in that science of before, which is not a science of anything else but of absolute beauty, and finally to get to know what beauty itself is. " According to In Plato's Banquet, theoretical speculation and aesthetic creation are intertwined in such a way that it is difficult to frame them exclusively in the history of philosophy or in that of literature. Devoted to discussing love, after successive and unsatisfactory ways of approaching the question, the doctrine of platonic love is exposed through Socrates and his supposed mentor, the priestess Diotima, which in successive degrees of abstraction leads to that kind of unio mystica. with the ideal form of beauty to which the true lover of beautiful things arrives. This dialogue anticipates the doctrine of the salvific function of love expounded in the Phaedrus, but above all it recreates that unrepeatable intellectual environment of late 5th century BC Athena. In its various manifestations, Although born in the homoerotic environment of the Academy, The Platonic Banquet created the symposium literary genre and managed to avoid, thanks to its immense beauty, the dangers that over the centuries loomed over "nefarious love." About the Author: Plato was a Greek philosopher follower of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle. In 387 a. C. founded the Academy of Athens, an institution that would continue for more than nine hundred years and to which Aristotle would go from Estagira to study philosophy around 367 BC. C., sharing twenty years of friendship and work with his teacher. Plato developed his philosophical doctrines through myths and allegories.
