Overview
Un texto filosófico capital de la tradición occidental sobre un tema de interés universal e intemporal.
«El amor es la producción en la belleza, sea por el cuerpo o sea por el alma.»
El tema de este libro no podría tener mayor importancia en nuestras vidas y ser más universal: el amor. Las ideas surgen aquí en el contexto de una reunión de amigos, celebrada tras la cena, dedicada a beber y conversar. Conforme avanza la noche se suceden los parlamentos, y entre las ideas sugeridas sobre eros cabe señalar que trae la felicidad a los hombres, que une a los contrarios, que el amor implica el deseo de lo que es bello y bueno o que el hombre puede elevarse a través de él.
El lector no solo descubrirá un texto de una gran hondura, lleno de intuiciones fulgurantes, sino que disfrutará de una obra de enorme altura literaria que ha tenido una influencia capital en la tradición filosófica occidental.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A foundational philosophical text of the Western tradition on a subject of universal and timeless interest.
“Love is the production in beauty, whether through the body or through the soul.”
The theme of this book could not be more important in our lives or more universal: love. The ideas emerge in the context of a gathering of friends, held after dinner, devoted to drinking and conversation. As the night progresses, speeches follow one another, and among the reflections on eros we find that it brings happiness to humankind, that it unites opposites, that love implies the desire for what is beautiful and good, and that through it, man can ascend.
The reader will not only discover a text of great depth, full of brilliant insights, but will also enjoy a work of immense literary stature that has had a decisive influence on the Western philosophical tradition.
