- In this lecture, we'll be interrogating the annals of Plato's Symposium to get to the bottom of homoerotic relations between men and adolescent boys, as well as Plato's theory of the form of Love. Enjoy!

I've never read Plato, so this was a great window into some of his theory. Great video!

Excellent lecture! If the Platonic idea of Beauty arises out of the erotic (not exclusively sexual) desire for the male body, how can this notion be reconciled with the later German Idealist concept of Beauty as the sensuous manifestation of the Idea, whose perception by the viewer must remain disinterested in order to preserve its aesthetic autonomy?
One take wonder!
@@addiesteinke4362 Why thank you!

You are still young, and - I'm guessing - still learning, so let me just tell you that your etymology of 'dialogue' is not correct. It comes from 'diá', not dio, which means "through" or "in several directions". So no need to use something like "plurilogue", which, by the way, would be using a Greek world with a Latin prefix, and that is unnecessary.
@@Strikker900 Thanks. It wasn’t a planned etymological digression, so I just pulled an association out of my butt
