«El banquete» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (145 pages, in Spanish).
Dialogue set at a banquet in which the guests deliver speeches on love from opposing perspectives. Plato then sets out, through Diotima, his theory: the erotic impulse is sublimated in a dialectical ascent towards Beauty, which is also the Good.
This edition is from 1989, with an introduction by Carlos García Gual, in the Clásicos de Grecia y Roma collection from Alianza Editorial.
Aimed at philosophy students and readers who wish to delve into the Platonic dialogues and the thought of classical Greece.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
