Document Summary
Symposium they decided not to get drunk and have sex, rather make a speech or a serious of speeches about love. You get a perspective on a perspective about love. An image of an image, of an image of a bunch of images of love. Plato is making a call to us to not take on authority on anything that is said in the text, but rather understand them as a perspective that will give us insight on what the truth is. But we will ultimately have to be the ones to determine what the truth is. So we are getting traces of the reality of love. Important to take it as a trace, not the reality, be open to questioning what people say. A coherent defensible vision of what love is. Yes let"s principle helps us arrive at a fuller answer. What you see in this text is an ascent towards a fuller truth / reality.
