Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.54 Plato's Symposium is the second installment in the series Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature. 19) the symposium is inseparable from eros, taken both as appetitive faculty and as a divine being. For H. this distinction shows both that Agathon's symposium as told by Plato was a largely fictional event and that in composing the dialogue Plato was himself aware of the "problematic status" of writing an "unchanging account of a quintessentially oral occasion, the elite symposium" (p. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/2005/2005-04-54.html   (2405 words)

Plato's Symposium The Symposium is one of the foundational documents of Western culture and arguably the most profound analysis and celebration of love in the history of philosophy. Throughout the dialogue (as virtually everywhere else in Plato) speech that appeals mainly to the senses turns out to be inferior as a mode of instruction to speech that appeals primarily to the intellect. It is surely one of the supreme ironies of the dialogue that Plato attributes its crowning insight to an absent woman (via her spokesperson Socrates) while gently ridiculing the prejudiced views and fitful half-truths of a party of drunken males. condor.depaul.edu /~dsimpson/tlove/symposium.html   (1249 words)

Plato, Greece, ancient history One of Platos most famous stories is the one of Atlantis, which according to him was situated west of the Pillars of Heracles (Gibraltar), and consisted of a mighty people of great virtue. Plato was much influenced by his teacher Socrates, and often used him as a character in his dialogues, but he wanted to take the nature of knowledge a step further. Therefore, he concluded, the two lower classes must be ruled by the upper class, according to Plato the philosophers, for the society to be correct. www.in2greece.com /english/historymyth/history/ancient/plato.htm   (490 words)

Symposium (Plato) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Symposium appears to be a comedic example of an historic motif: the seven wise men at dinner. The symposium dissolves as a large drunken group shows up and comes in, with many characters leaving; Socrates, however, stayed up till dawn, proclaiming to Agathon and Aristophanes that a skillful playwright should be able to write comedy as well as tragedy as Aristodemus awoke and left the house (223d). Alcibiades is often mentioned in Plato's dialogues as Socrates' most promising student, and the fact that Socrates found him an unworthy recipient of his "love" throws both him and Socrates under a cloud of suspicion. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Symposium_(Plato)   (3746 words)

The Symposium of Plato The result of his labor was a translation of Plato’s principal work on love that is, in both clarity and felicity of expression, unmatched by any contemporary translation. Plato’s speeches on love need an English idiom in which myth is at home, and in which humor rises to urbanity rather than descending to mere wit and joke. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, her husband’s literary executor, upon publication of (a somewhat expurgated version of) the dialogue, boasted that "Shelley resembled Plato; both taking more delight in the abstract and the ideal than in the special and the tangible. www.staugustine.net /Symposiumofplato.html   (388 words)

Plato's Symposium Objects in the material world may be only imperfect copies or imitations of the ideal, and objects may participate in the formness they are representing. Phaidros delivers the first argument, stating the most obvious facts about love: That love is a great god, that it is one of the most powerful forces driving men's actions, and a superior romance is one in which one lover is willing to die for the other. There are latent possibilities in different kinds of love to either pull us up to Socrates' unified and ultimate good in the world of Being, or to pull us down into a dense, fragmented experience of the forms. www.cyberpat.com /shirlsite/essays/plato.html   (1737 words)

Platos Symposium I would recommend this to ANYONE who is interested in Plato (students of every level, and even if youre an expert in the area). I am an expert in Plato, I have every one of the Agora Plato Audio CDs, and want every one of Platos dialogues to be done in this format by these performers! The great part of the Symposium Audio CD is that they use a woman for the part of Diotima, so it is always very clear whether Socrates (who is relating what Diotima supposedly said to him) or Diotima is speaking. www.wbthub.com /Platos-Symposium-1887250298   (220 words)

sympos Human sense perception can perceive only distorted material "shadows" of the real (the forms); through philosophy one may attain to a closer apprehension of the form, but not yet a direct apprehension. this is not to say that pederasty was the only expression of same-sex relations in ancient Greece; indeed Pausanias--whom Plato (in the Symposium) has defend long-term same-sex partnerships between adults--was known to have had a lengthy relationship with Agathon. I point out that this is the only reference in the Symposium to female desire or to female same-sex love. academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu /classic/wilson/core/sympos.htm   (2063 words)

finkelberg.doc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) I will argue that the analogy between Alcibiades’ speech and the satyr drama helps us to see into Plato’s view of the relationship between the speeches in the Symposium and perhaps also in other dialogues. I will further argue that the structural model most suitable for such an analysis would be that of cumulative repetition. Application of the same model to the Phaedrus, which also contains a series of competing speeches, shows that it may be helpful in interpreting this dialogue as well. www.apaclassics.org /AnnualMeeting/03mtg/abstracts/finkelberg.html   (272 words)

Teaching Plan: Plato's Symposium For Symposium, I would provide historical background on the text, including approximate dates of composition and setting, and very brief biographical sketches of the characters. Note also that having hiccupped through Pausanias' speech, Aristophanes proceeds to hold his breath, gargle, and finally sneeze his way through Eryximachus' speech--a nice bit of stage business.] Agathon--articulates need to talk about what Love is, rather than what it does (essence vs. accidents). In Alcibiades' tragic passion, Plato subjects Socrates' high-minded model of love (as springboard to wisdom) to the severest possible test: he makes it go head-to-head with a real, live, case of love, one with which many in Plato's audience will identify. www.columbia.edu /~rjs19/symp-plan.htm   (1677 words)
