Plato, Allan Bloom wrote, is "the most erotic of philosophers," and his Symposium is one of the greatest works on the nature of love ever written. This new edition brings together the English translation of the renowned Plato scholar and translator, Seth Benardete, with two illuminating commentaries on it: Benardete's "On Plato's Symposium" and Allan Bloom's provocative essay, "The Ladder of Love." In the Symposium, Plato recounts a drinking party following an evening meal, where the guests include the poet Aristophanes, the drunken Alcibiades, and, of course, the wise Socrates. The revelers give their views on the timeless topics of love and desire, all the while addressing many of the major themes of Platonic philosophy: the relationship of philosophy and poetry, the good, and the beautiful.

Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, this classic text is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation, other questions are raised: what is goodness? What is reality? And what is knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of education and the role of both women and men as guardians of the people. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by philosopher kings.

In Plato's "Parmenides," the dialogue explores profound philosophical questions, primarily focusing on the nature of being and non-being. The character Parmenides presents a series of challenging arguments to Socrates, questioning the feasibility and coherence of the "Theory of Forms". Parmenides argues that if something exists, it must be completely unified and unchanging. He suggests that a true being is a singular, undivided entity that cannot be differentiated, or subdivided. The dialogue contrasts the ideas of the Sophists, who often questioned the nature of truth and knowledge, with the more rigorous philosophical inquiry presented by Parmenides. Parmenides demonstrates the complexities and potential inconsistencies within the "Theory of Forms" prompting deeper reflection on the nature of reality and knowledge. The poem addresses human beliefs and perceptions, which Parmenides sees as unreliable. These perceptions suggest a reality of change and diversity, which he believes are illusions and do not reflect the true nature of Being. Sensory experiences are seen as deceptive, as they suggest a world of change and plurality, which contradicts the true nature of Being., Parmenides argues that reality is a single, unchanging entity, and any perception of change or diversity is illusory.
