Frisbee Sheffield argues that the Symposium has been unduly
marginalized by philosophers. Although the topic - eros - and the
setting at a symposium have seemed anomalous, she demonstrates that
both are intimately related to Plato's preoccupation with the
nature of the good life, with virtue, and how it is acquired and
transmitted. For Plato, analysing our desires is a way of
reflecting on the kind of people we will turn out to be and on our
chances of leading a worthwhile and happy life. In its focus on the
question why he considered desires to be amenable to this type of
reflection, this book explores Plato's ethics of desire.
