Plato's Symposium: The Ethics of Desire - Oxford Classical Monographs
Sheffield, Frisbee (Research Fellow, Girton College, Cambridge)
Frisbee Sheffield argues that the Symposium has been unduly marginalized by philosophers. Although the topic - eros - and the setting at a symposium have seemed anomalous, she demonstrates that both are intimately related to Plato's preoccupation with the nature of the good life, with virtue, and how it is acquired and transmitted.
