More about the book

Set during an imaginary dinner party in Athens in 416 BC, the narrative features prominent figures like Aristophanes, Socrates, and the charismatic Alcibiades. The guests engage in a series of eloquent speeches about love, culminating in Socrates' profound recounting of Diotima's teachings, which suggest that love serves as a pathway to achieving goodness. This dialogue explores deep philosophical themes through vibrant character interactions and thought-provoking discussions.
