Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus

Exploring the theme of love through philosophical inquiry, the book combines two of Plato's dialogues. Symposium delves into the nature and significance of love, particularly its connection to beauty, while Phaedrus examines the psychological aspects of love, contrasting lovers with non-lovers. Together, these works provide a rich understanding of Platonic thought, presented in the accessible Jowett translation.
