«El banquete» is a philosophical dialogue by Plato published by Tecnos in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
The dialogue takes place during a banquet in Athens in which several characters, including Socrates, Agathon, Aristophanes and Alcibiades, deliver speeches on the nature of love. Against earlier views, Socrates relates the teaching of Diotima, who describes love as an ascending impulse from the beauty of bodies to the contemplation of beauty itself.
Work from the Clásicos del Pensamiento collection, in its second edition, with a preliminary study, translation and notes by Luis Gil.
Suitable for philosophy students and for those who want to begin with Plato's dialogues.
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.
