A group of friends gather for a dinner party in Athens and agree to take turns giving a speech in praise of love. Each guest has a different idea, from comedy to myth, and then Socrates tells what he learned about love from a wise woman named Diotima. Plato's dialogue is one of the most famous works on love in philosophy. Read by Paul Landergan in about three and a half hours. A clear, lively entry into ancient philosophy.
