最近因为要写点东西,重读了几年前读过的《会饮》,然而这次读来感受却与上次颇为不同。 记得几年前对苏格拉底非常崇拜,并且一旦瞥见他心中那隐藏着的神,就立刻如五雷轰顶一般,从此成为哲学的疯狂追随者。觉得周围人,包括自己从前的生活根本就不值得过,觉得从他身边逃走...
评分古典思想是令人着迷的,因为它的既高贵又自然。现代人对于爱欲的问题,要么归于非理性的本体,如叔本华的意志论;要么诉诸潜意识的推动,如弗洛伊德的精神分析,两条思路都把爱欲看成某种难以言传、暗自涌动的力量,最后在现代生理医学中汇聚并完成,令爱欲的人成为了一具没有...
评分写在前面:本是假期闲来无事的写作,结合个人体验的尝试。感谢Juana,她带我领略过爱与美的风景。昨日听闻她在一位程序员身上见到了神的光辉。衷心祝愿她一切都好。 ——基于“占有”与“爱欲”的讨论 在《会饮》[1]中,阿尔西比亚德的闯入是极富戏剧性的时刻,阿尔西比亚德对...
评分会饮篇是一场对爱情的讨论会,之所以叫会饮篇,是因为这是一场在阿伽通家举行的宴会上的讨论。主要观点总结如下: 1,裴卓:“爱情是伟大的。因为有了爱,才有其他一切的诞生。”(爱神爱若为众神之先,“一切神灵中爱神最先产生(巴门尼德)”)无论生前死后,爱情是最古老最...
评分读刘小枫老师译作柏拉图《会饮》,是一个偶然。我曾言,在大学四年,我只学会了三个半词:爱情,自由,投资,加上半个信仰。半个信仰,在随后加入了价值观,终于成了使得信仰完善。随后,对爱和责任有了理解,重新对自由,投资有了加深。我逐渐认识到,认识自我,只是让自己摆...

Review
An all-male dinner party in Athens in 416 BC, with plentiful wine and attentive serving-girls, seems an unlikely setting for one of the world's greatest treatises on the nature of love. Yet in the Symposium Plato presents a series of witty, erudite and immensely readable speeches on love, in a setting which would be very familiar to the Athenians of the day. Students of classical Greek will delight in Robin Waterfield's fluent yet comfortable translation. His emphasis on accessibility rather than over-literalism has produced a translation sparkling with wit and ideas, which classicists and non-classicists alike will enjoy reading. Waterfield's fascinating introduction to the text provides valuable background to the sexual mores of the time and the social culture of classical Greece. He also examines each speech in detail, elucidating some of the more oblique points of the text to enable the reader to tackle it with confidence. The Greek playwright Agathon has walked off with the laurels at a recent competition, and is celebrating his victory with a select dinner party, or symposium. As he and his guests take their places, they decide to hold back on the amount of wine they consume and talk about love. The guests at the symposium are a mixed bunch of characters, who deliver their speeches in various styles and with different reactions from their appreciative listeners. Agathon's fellow playwright, the comic master Aristophanes, is there, as is Erxymachus, a doctor, and of course Socrates himself, brilliant philosopher and Plato's mentor. The conversation ranges from a declaration of the importance of homoerotic love to Socrates's account of his discussions with the prophetess Diotima, who claimed that we can only achieve true goodness through love. Into this scene of convivial discussion bursts Alcibiades, ex-lover of Socrates, military genius and famous bon viveur with a scandalous reputation. Thrusting himself between Socrates and his latest lover, Agathon, Alcibiades insists on joining in with the discussion but soon digresses and talks about his own love for Socrates. Although some critics have found the gate-crashing Alcibiades's speech sits awkwardly on such profound metaphysical discussion, it reminds the reader of the physical reality of love, while making several pointed references back to earlier speeches. As Waterfield says at the beginning of his introduction, the Symposium should be read at a sitting and re-visited for further enjoyment and insight. Layer after layer of meaning becomes revealed, and this slender dialogue proves to be a box of ever-increasing delights. (Kirkus UK)

评分just so so
评分作为受过一定教育的现代学生可以很轻易地说出“哲学就是爱智慧”,但symposium 所在讲述的是哲学和eros/desire/beauty联系起来的那个过程。上课时不断想起互联网meme:You think you know me, think again.
评分刚知道nehamas也批过bloom那本畅销书。
