«Simposio. Testo greco a fronte» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Foschi (Santarcangelo) in paperback (218 pages, in Italian).
At a banquet at the home of the poet Agathon, Socrates, Aristophanes and other guests deliver speeches in praise of Eros. Through them, Plato reflects on desire and love, culminating in Diotima's teaching: love as an ascending impulse from the sensible towards absolute beauty and the world of ideas.
The edition presents the Greek text facing the Italian translation and is part of the I classici collection; translation by Angelo Giavatto.
For philosophy students and readers of classics who want to read the Symposium in a bilingual edition.
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.
