Episode description
What is love? The various speeches in this dialogue attempt to answer this question, culminating in Diotima's claim that love is the desire to eternally contemplate and behold the form of beauty. Socrates then teaches his friends that philosophy supplies the means to do so. In this episode of Cryptosophy, Max and Doyle search for wisdom in one of Plato's most famous dialogues.
