This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This video focuses on Plato's work, the Symposium, and specifically on the speech made by Aristophanes. It focuses on his classic interpretation of Love as a desire for a lost unity, one possessed when we were formerly united with our "missing half".
