«El Banquete» is the philosophical dialogue by Platón published by Orbis in 1991, and also includes the dialogue «Fedón» (246 pages, in Spanish).
At a banquet, the guests take turns delivering their praises to Eros, the god of love, and each speech shows a different vision of desire. The dialogue reaches its climax with Socrates, for whom love is desire for beauty and truth, an impulse that elevates the human being towards wisdom.
For those seeking to introduce themselves to classical philosophy through the dialogues of Platón.
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.
