«Le banquet. Phèdre» is Plato's philosophical work published by Flammarion in paperback (217 pages, in French).
It brings together two Platonic dialogues. In The Symposium, Agathon's guests deliver speeches in praise of Eros; Socrates, recalling Diotima, links love to the desire for immortality and the ascent towards Beauty. In Phaedrus, vulgar love is contrasted with heavenly love, and it explores how the recollection of the Ideas moves the soul.
French edition from the GF Flammarion collection, with translation and introduction by Émile Chambry.
Recommended for philosophy students and readers interested in classical thought on love and beauty.
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.
