Each of them have their own versions which might appear true to every reader in some context or the other. But the one given by Socrates was of course the best! His version of love is that of immortality through beauty. According to him every living thing loves to be immortal and eternal and hence it re-creates itself through an emotion called love. Hence according to Socrates, love is nothing but one’s affinity for eternity or immortality of body and fame, which is attained through this complex psychological emotion.At one point in the book, the reader gets an impression about the speakers favoring homosexuality as some of them argue about the purity of love more in the same sex rather than opposite sexes. One gets a feeling that even Socrates favored this in his opinion. But we are not sure of how it got contemplated later.One can get the best of philosophical definitions and derivations about love in this book right through some of the greatest minds of Greek philosophy.My favorite quote in the book“Evil is the vulgar lover who loves the body rather than the soul, in as much as he is not even stable, because he loves a thing which is in itself unstable, and therefore when the bloom of youth which he was desiring is over, he takes wing and flies away, in spite of all his words and promises; whereas the love of the noble disposition is life-long, for it becomes one with the everlasting”My rating is 3.75 out of 50 of 0 people found the following review helpful.TediousBy CygnetWhile I felt I should find great inspiration in this classic work, I found it rather tedious. The introduction was just a “pre-hash” of the book to come, so as I slogged my way through it, I felt like I was reading it twice. For the most part both the introduction and the translation utilized somewhat archaic language, making sentence structure very difficult to follow.The part I enjoyed was the description of the three genders: male, female, and androgynous. It is my understanding that it is from this explanation of the origin of humans that the belief in soul mates comes. However, most descriptions of soul mates do not mention that the concept is only for the split souls, not for the average male and female who were never merged in the first place. If the translation is accurate, then many present-day beliefs about soul and Plato’s concept of soul mates are at variance with Plato (or Plato’s Aristophanes). By this I mean, after my reading Symposium, I have come to see that the ideas about love that I was taught were Plato’s, were more interpretations of what Plato’s ideas about love were. Like any philosophy, his ideas are subject to interpretation and commentary, losing the purity of the original thought and infusing it with the personal perspective of each interpreter.I recently read a YA book entitled Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon (Hyperion, 2010, New York) which quotes the Symposium in the Prologue. Upon reading the quotation, I immediately acquired Symposium to read the context of the quote for myself. Ms. Woon’s application of “soul mates” is, I believe, much closer to the mark than the average, romantic version of them.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Amazzzing!By CustomerIgnore the title and please do not judge me poorly because of it. I found the “Symposium” insightful and titillating (i.e. not in a sexual connotation). I have always had a difficult time trying to convey what “love” meant. So I denoted the term as a “feeling”, instead realizing that “love” could not be compacted into a simplistic meaning. I had unintentionally devalued its worth. I can’t ensure that I completely understand what love is, but I can safely say that this book has helped clarify a couple of my misconceptions. I am happy to say that I have gained a lot of insightful knowledge from this book.P.S. The dialogue with the drunken character and Socrates was hilarious.See all 50 customer reviews...
