The Symposium by Plato

The Symposium by Plato

A group of Athenians agree that instead of drinking heavily they will each give a speech in praise of love. It goes about as well as you would expect, and produces one of the great works of philosophy.

Aristophanes explains that humans were once round and split in two, which is why we search for our other half. Socrates reports what a priestess taught him about a ladder from bodies to beauty itself. Then Alcibiades arrives drunk and ruins everything.

The most entertaining of Plato's dialogues, and the origin of what we still call platonic love.
