Plato, Symposium - Paradoxes Of Love (Pausanius) - Sadler's Lectures

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 Pausanius. It focuses on the seeming paradoxes arising with love - particularly on the moral status of love as a feeling and the actions characteristically connected with it.
