Joann Sfar, a comic artist and writer with a background in philosophy, interprets Plato's dialogue on love and desire. The book brings together the classic text with illustrations, comments and annotations by the author, who graphically converses with the characters of the banquet and brings ancient philosophy closer to a familiar and irreverent visual register.
It is part of the collection «La Petite Bibliothèque Philosophique de Joann Sfar», dedicated to illustrated versions of classic philosophy texts.
For readers interested in classical philosophy and contemporary European graphic novels.
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.
