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)

读后感

一、世间绘：《会饮》的形式及其取向 这篇文章要呈现的是一些思想，复数的“思想”[1]。 我们得从《会饮》（Symposium）的背景谈起。悲剧诗人阿伽通得了大奖在家宴客，邀请了包括苏格拉底[2]在内的众多人士，大家围坐在一起侃侃而谈。觥筹交错间，大家都想找点事情来消遣，而不...

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...  

爱欲的起源 ----对柏拉图《会饮》中阿里斯托芬讲辞的分析 　　在柏拉图的《会饮》里，阿里斯托芬向他的朋友们讲述了一个关于人的爱欲如何而来的故事。起初人有三种性别，男、女以及男女两性的混合体。每一种人都长成圆圆的球形，有双倍于现在的人的身体器官：两张长在...  

这是一篇《哲学与人生》课程期末论文。谈论爱欲的哲学家少之又少。其中，柏拉图的态度比较温和，更容易被我们从直觉上接受。 我想说一句很无知的话：如果我们把爱搞明白了，大概就能搞明白世界上的一切。 【摘要】《会饮篇》（或《论爱情》，伦理的）是柏拉图以对话体完成的关...  

20190327打卡《会饮》柏拉图 书很薄，不影响其畅达精彩，朴素言语背后别有一番瑰丽光景。 柏拉图用一场宴饮，将所有人拽入爱的殿堂。 一、同性恋圣经 没有哪本书能将同性之爱解释得如此自然、和谐、唯美，充满智慧。 阿里斯托芬这样讲述： 原始人类曾为三种，男人、女人、阴阳...
