Plato, Symposium - Love, Poetry, And Procreation (Diotima & Socrates) - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, one of the great works of literature from the ancient world, focused on the nature of love. This lecture focuses specifically on the speech made by Socrates (narrating the wise woman, Diotima's teaching), in which all human beings are "pregnant" in their souls, and bear different kinds of progeny.
