This book investigates the real meaning of Love in The Banquet, first examining the five discourses and the Socrates-Diotima narration, where Plato expresses his own way of judging Love. It presents the link between Eros, Logos and Paideia and the analysis of the relationship between Beauty, Good and Just implicit in the work. The ethical perspective of this study and its relevance to the resumption of the concept of otherness are highlighted.
