Explore the nature of love in Plato's timeless dialogue, "Symposium." Set in ancient Greece, this philosophical exploration brings together some of the era's greatest minds, including Socrates, to discuss and debate the many facets of Eros.

Through a series of speeches delivered at a banquet, each participant offers their unique perspective on love's origins, purpose, and influence on human life. From passionate desire to the pursuit of virtue and wisdom, "Symposium" delves into the profound and multifaceted nature of this fundamental human experience.

A cornerstone of ancient philosophy, this early work on love remains relevant and thought-provoking, offering insights into relationships, desire, and the search for meaning. This meticulously prepared edition preserves the integrity of Plato's original text.
