Through detailed analyses of Plato‘s Republic, Phaedrus, and Symposium, Levy shows how, despite the apparent tensions between Socrates‘ statements about eros in each dialogue, these statements supplement each other well and serve to clarify Socrates‘ understanding of the complex relationship between eros, religious belief, and philosophy. Thus, Levy‘s interpretation sheds new light not only on Plato‘s view of eros, but also on his view of piety and philosophy, challenging common assumptions about the erotic nature of Socratic philosophy. This novel approach to classic political theory will incite discussion and interest among scholars of classics, philosophy, and political theory. | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | love; philosophy; Plato; political philosophy; religious belief; Socrates; Symposium; The Republic | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137342713 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-46645-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-34271-3Series ISSN 2524-7166 Series E-ISSN 2524-7174 | issn_series | 2524-7166 | copyright | David Levy 2013 |
