«Le Banquet» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Nathan in paperback (128 pages, in French).
During a banquet in Athens, the guests celebrate Agathon and take turns praising Eros. Several speakers intervene, including Aristophanes with a famous myth; then Socrates recounts the teachings of Diotima: authentic love aspires to immortality and culminates in the contemplation of absolute beauty, which is also truth.
1991 edition in the Les Intégrales de Philo collection, with complete text and notes and commentary by B. Piettre.
For philosophy students and for readers who want to approach Plato's text in French.
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.
