«Le banquet: Ou de l'amour, genre moral» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by J'ai Lu in paperback (98 pages, in French).
At a banquet at the poet Agathon's house, the guests praise Eros. Aristophanes sees love as the search for the lost half; Socrates, inspired by Diotima, as an ascent from the body to Beauty. Alcibiades closes the scene, testing Socrates' resistance.
The work is part of Plato's dialogues; this edition from the Librio imprint, published in 1995, offers the complete text.
Recommended for philosophy students and readers interested in Greek classics and reflections on love.
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.
