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 the speech made by Eryximachus. It focuses on his discussion of how his conception of (good) Love as something like an agreement between opposites plays out not only in his art of Medicine, but also in Music.
