Review

An all-male dinner party in Athens in 416 BC, with plentiful wine and attentive serving-girls, seems an unlikely setting for one of the world's greatest treatises on the nature of love. Yet in the Symposium Plato presents a series of witty, erudite and immensely readable speeches on love, in a setting which would be very familiar to the Athenians of the day. Students of classical Greek will delight in Robin Waterfield's fluent yet comfortable translation. His emphasis on accessibility rather than over-literalism has produced a translation sparkling with wit and ideas, which classicists and non-classicists alike will enjoy reading. Waterfield's fascinating introduction to the text provides valuable background to the sexual mores of the time and the social culture of classical Greece. He also examines each speech in detail, elucidating some of the more oblique points of the text to enable the reader to tackle it with confidence. The Greek playwright Agathon has walked off with the laurels at a recent competition, and is celebrating his victory with a select dinner party, or symposium. As he and his guests take their places, they decide to hold back on the amount of wine they consume and talk about love. The guests at the symposium are a mixed bunch of characters, who deliver their speeches in various styles and with different reactions from their appreciative listeners. Agathon's fellow playwright, the comic master Aristophanes, is there, as is Erxymachus, a doctor, and of course Socrates himself, brilliant philosopher and Plato's mentor. The conversation ranges from a declaration of the importance of homoerotic love to Socrates's account of his discussions with the prophetess Diotima, who claimed that we can only achieve true goodness through love. Into this scene of convivial discussion bursts Alcibiades, ex-lover of Socrates, military genius and famous bon viveur with a scandalous reputation. Thrusting himself between Socrates and his latest lover, Agathon, Alcibiades insists on joining in with the discussion but soon digresses and talks about his own love for Socrates. Although some critics have found the gate-crashing Alcibiades's speech sits awkwardly on such profound metaphysical discussion, it reminds the reader of the physical reality of love, while making several pointed references back to earlier speeches. As Waterfield says at the beginning of his introduction, the Symposium should be read at a sitting and re-visited for further enjoyment and insight. Layer after layer of meaning becomes revealed, and this slender dialogue proves to be a box of ever-increasing delights. (Kirkus UK)

读后感

前苏格拉底的哲人赫拉克里特仅存的《残篇》中,每一句语焉不详的只言片语都蕴含着石破天惊的巨大力量,比如这句话:上升之路与下降之路本是同一条路。因此,在诸多对《会饮》的解读中,当人们熙熙攘攘都去讨论爱欲的上升时,一个叫做Sean Steel的学者就抓住了老赫这句话,反其...

看到一篇老美的研究文章里面分析所谓苏格拉底式的自由,其特征之一便是不进入任何一段交易关系中,不收人家的钱,就不需要迎合别人,去说一些违心奉迎的话。这是柏拉图笔下的苏格拉底与智者们最大的区别之一。(而对比喜剧作家阿里斯托芬的《云》里,苏格拉底照样是收人钱财,...

爱欲的起源 ----对柏拉图《会饮》中阿里斯托芬讲辞的分析   在柏拉图的《会饮》里,阿里斯托芬向他的朋友们讲述了一个关于人的爱欲如何而来的故事。起初人有三种性别,男、女以及男女两性的混合体。每一种人都长成圆圆的球形,有双倍于现在的人的身体器官:两张长在...

大体来看这个故事所要揭示的就是爱若斯是什么,由苏格拉底说的从某女人那里听到的答案,说爱若斯是对永生的一种追求,它不局限在个别的事物和个别的人上,那些局限在肉体生育上的爱若斯没有那些名垂千古的爱若斯高级。读完之后人们会产生这样的印象,就是爱若斯要追求的不是个...

Well-written. Alcibiades控诉苏格拉底的部分太精彩了。一面说真正的爱应当give birth to immortality ,另一面身后不留著述。谦虚之人往往最是傲慢,A讽刺得恰到好处。老苏真有意思。
