What is a library, if not a gathering place for the soul? In The Plato Library, the dialogues of Plato are read in full, inviting the listener to sit beside Socrates and his companions as they inquire into justice, beauty, love, knowledge, virtue, and the good life. Come, then, and listen. Not as one who already knows, but as one willing to seek.Public domain Philosophie Sciences sociales

    Symposium Part 2
    Jun 28 2026
    In which the nature and power of Love are explored through myth and reason, revealing human origins as once unified beings now divided and yearning to be whole, and Love understood as a profound force binding gods and mortals alike, filled with complexity and pursuit of the eternal good. This discourse unfolds through the speeches of those present, culminating in a dialogue where the wisdom of a venerable woman teacher imparts that Love is neither god nor mortal but a daimon intermediary, a lover of beauty and goodness, whose essence lies in the unending desire for possession of the good and the profound act of bringing forth life in beauty.
