In his celebrated masterpiece, Symposium, Plato imagines a high-society dinner-party in Athens in 416 BC at which the guests - including the comic poet Aristophanes and, of course, Plato's mentor Socrates - each deliver a short speech in praise of love. The sequence of dazzling speeches culminates in Socrates' famous account of the views of Diotima, a prophetess who taught him that love is our means of trying to attain goodness. And then into the party bursts the drunken Alcibiades, the most popular and notorious Athenian of the time, who insists on praising Socrates himself rather than love, and gives us a brilliant sketch of this enigmatic character. The power, humour, and pathos of Plato's creation engages the reader on every page. This new translation is complemented by full explanatory notes and an illuminating introduction.

20190327打卡《会饮》柏拉图 书很薄,不影响其畅达精彩,朴素言语背后别有一番瑰丽光景。 柏拉图用一场宴饮,将所有人拽入爱的殿堂。 一、同性恋圣经 没有哪本书能将同性之爱解释得如此自然、和谐、唯美,充满智慧。 阿里斯托芬这样讲述: 原始人类曾为三种,男人、女人、阴阳...
评分看到一篇老美的研究文章里面分析所谓苏格拉底式的自由,其特征之一便是不进入任何一段交易关系中,不收人家的钱,就不需要迎合别人,去说一些违心奉迎的话。这是柏拉图笔下的苏格拉底与智者们最大的区别之一。(而对比喜剧作家阿里斯托芬的《云》里,苏格拉底照样是收人钱财,...
评分1.首先,柏拉图对于这场会饮的描述,不是直接叙述,而是经阿波罗陀若和他的朋友的对话展开的。阿波罗陀若的朋友向他打听那天夜里这场会饮到底说了什么内容——这不是孤例,因为当时苏格拉底已经死了,阿尔基弼亚德也已经逃亡,所以人们对那天晚上到底发生了什么非常好奇。 因此...

评分在古希腊世界,城邦和哲学始终处于一种张力之中,苏格拉底一生的经历就是这种张力的集中体现。雅典民主政治审判并处死苏格拉底的理由在于他的两大罪状:第一,不信城邦的神并引进新神;第二,败坏青年。而“败坏青年”之罪,很可能是导致苏格拉底最终被判死刑的实质性原因。 关...

评分in the business of acquiring immortality, it would be hard for human nature to find a better partner than Love.
评分Eros is a great evil: its nature and its progeny. Socrates让我们知道Eros是人类的动力, 背后是人类对完整的渴望, 而Symposium则通过自己的戏剧结构向我们揭示哲学的通透, 告诉人们追求本质的东西, 而不是本质的附带品. (Really impressed by Aristophanes’s speech about three geners--- human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love.)
评分love is one of the areas in-between ignorance and knowledge, what transport us from former to latter.
