Review
An all-male dinner party in Athens in 416 BC, with plentiful wine and attentive serving-girls, seems an unlikely setting for one of the world's greatest treatises on the nature of love. Yet in the Symposium Plato presents a series of witty, erudite and immensely readable speeches on love, in a setting which would be very familiar to the Athenians of the day. Students of classical Greek will delight in Robin Waterfield's fluent yet comfortable translation. His emphasis on accessibility rather than over-literalism has produced a translation sparkling with wit and ideas, which classicists and non-classicists alike will enjoy reading. Waterfield's fascinating introduction to the text provides valuable background to the sexual mores of the time and the social culture of classical Greece. He also examines each speech in detail, elucidating some of the more oblique points of the text to enable the reader to tackle it with confidence. The Greek playwright Agathon has walked off with the laurels at a recent competition, and is celebrating his victory with a select dinner party, or symposium. As he and his guests take their places, they decide to hold back on the amount of wine they consume and talk about love. The guests at the symposium are a mixed bunch of characters, who deliver their speeches in various styles and with different reactions from their appreciative listeners. Agathon's fellow playwright, the comic master Aristophanes, is there, as is Erxymachus, a doctor, and of course Socrates himself, brilliant philosopher and Plato's mentor. The conversation ranges from a declaration of the importance of homoerotic love to Socrates's account of his discussions with the prophetess Diotima, who claimed that we can only achieve true goodness through love. Into this scene of convivial discussion bursts Alcibiades, ex-lover of Socrates, military genius and famous bon viveur with a scandalous reputation. Thrusting himself between Socrates and his latest lover, Agathon, Alcibiades insists on joining in with the discussion but soon digresses and talks about his own love for Socrates. Although some critics have found the gate-crashing Alcibiades's speech sits awkwardly on such profound metaphysical discussion, it reminds the reader of the physical reality of love, while making several pointed references back to earlier speeches. As Waterfield says at the beginning of his introduction, the Symposium should be read at a sitting and re-visited for further enjoyment and insight. Layer after layer of meaning becomes revealed, and this slender dialogue proves to be a box of ever-increasing delights. (Kirkus UK)

评分Well-written. Alcibiades控诉苏格拉底的部分太精彩了。一面说真正的爱应当give birth to immortality ,另一面身后不留著述。谦虚之人往往最是傲慢,A讽刺得恰到好处。老苏真有意思。

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,...
评分古典思想是令人着迷的,因为它的既高贵又自然。现代人对于爱欲的问题,要么归于非理性的本体,如叔本华的意志论;要么诉诸潜意识的推动,如弗洛伊德的精神分析,两条思路都把爱欲看成某种难以言传、暗自涌动的力量,最后在现代生理医学中汇聚并完成,令爱欲的人成为了一具没有...
