This is a short taken from one of my Intro to Philosophy class sessions at Marist College in 2012, which was focused on the themes of Love, Desire, and Friendship. We were in the third day of three devoted to a classic text on the topic, Plato's Symposium. This short looks briefly at the ladder of love, ascending from beautiful bodies through beautiful souls, to beautiful laws and institutions, beautiful disciplines or knowledge, to the very form of beauty itself. This is revealed to Socrates by his own teacher, the wise woman Diotima
