«El Banquete» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Ediciones Folio in hardback (94 pages, in Spanish).
In this dialogue, a group of friends gathered at a dinner at the poet Agathon's house delivers several speeches in honour of love. The conversation progresses to Socrates' intervention, who conveys the teachings of Diotima and presents Eros as an intermediate being, driven by the desire for beauty and wisdom.
This title was published in 2006 within the Grandes Ideas collection, with a translation by Luis Gil.
For readers interested in classical philosophy, history of thought, and ancient Greek literature.
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.
