Next Episode: Plato, Symposium - Heavenly And Earthly Love (Pausanius)
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, one of the great works of literature from the ancient world, focused on the nature of love.
This lecture focuses specifically on an issue arising in Phaedrus' speech - whether the lover or the beloved, i.e. the person feeling love or the object of love, is "greater".
