This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, one of the great works of literature from the ancient world, focused on the nature of love.

This lecture focuses specifically on why the characters decide to praise love, and even more importantly how and whether they do in fact praise love in their speeches.
