Author Steven Berg offers an interpretation of this dialogue wherein all the speakers at the banquet - with the exception of Socrates - not only offer their views on the nature of love, but represent Athens and the Athenian enlightenment. Accordingly, Socrates' speech, taken in relation to the speeches that precede it, is shown to articulate the relation between Socrates and the Athenian enlightenment, to expose the limitations of that enlightenment, and therefore finally to bring to light the irresolvable tension between Socrates and his philosophy and the city of Athens even at her most enlightened."--BOOK JACKET. 410 0$aSUNY series in ancient Greek philosophy. 606 $aLove 615 0$aLove. 676 $a184 686 $a08.21$2bcl 700 $aBerg$b Steven$f1959-$01808507 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965549203321 996 $aEros and the intoxications of enlightenment$94358769 997 $aUNINA
