Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poverty of Eros in Plato's Symposium offers an innovative new approach towards Eros and the concept of Eros in the Symposium. Lorelle D. Lamascus argues that Plato's depiction of Eros as the child of Poverty (penia) and Resource (poros) is central to understanding the nature of love. Eros is traditionally seen as self-interested or acquisitive, but this book argues instead that Eros and reason are properly in accord with one another. The moral life and the philosophical life alike depend upon properly trained and directed Eros. Lamascus demonstrates that the presentation of the nature of Poverty is essential to the nature of Eros in the Symposium, doing this through in-depth discussion of the major twentieth century interpretations of Platonic Eros. The book shows that poverty provides an appropriate directing of Eros towards eternal and unchanging goods (and away from an age geared towards material items and wealth), and thus that Plato's mythical treatment of Eros in the Symposium lays the groundwork for understanding the soul's embrace of poverty as a way of living, loving, and knowing.

Book excerpt: This unique book challenges the traditional distinction between eros, the love found in Greek thought, and agape, the love characteristic of Christianity. Focusing on a number of classic texts, including Plato's Symposium and Lysis, Aristotle's Ethics and Metaphysics,, and famous passages in Gregory of Nyssa, Origen, Dionysius the Areopagite, Plotinus, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, the author shows that Plato's account of eros is not founded on self-interest. In this way, she restores the place of erotic love as a Christian motif, and unravels some longstanding confusions in philosophical discussions of love.

Book excerpt: In this modern adaptation of Plato's Συμπόσιον (Symposium), a group of distinguished Athenians gather at a feast and take turns delivering profound and playful speeches in praise of love (eros). Over the course of the party, they explore questions of love, beauty, and truth, as each speech builds on and challenges the ideas of the last. Socrates delivers the climactic speech, invoking the teachings of the wise woman Diotima to describe the soul's journey from physical attraction to the contemplation of eternal Forms. Alcibiades' dramatic entrance provides a provocative counterpoint, grounding the philosophical discussions in personal experience. Philosophical arguments blend with bawdy jokes and drunken antics to produce an enduring and entertaining meditation on the nature of love. This edition integrates Stephanus pagination for easy cross-referencing with other translations and the original Greek text.
