This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This video focuses on Plato's work, the Symposium, and specifically on the speech made by Socrates (narrating the wise woman, Diotima's teachings) in which he sets out a ladder by which the lover can ascend from beautiful bodies ultimately to Beauty itself, the Form of Beauty
