Plato Symposium

Symposium In Plato’s Symposium the second speaker, Pausanias categorizes love by the main idea; love may be good or bad depending on the performance of the two lovers. Pausanias acknowledged the importance of performance by using these words: ”turn out in this or that way according to the mode of performing them; and when well done they are all good, and when wrongly done they are evil….”(Plato, Symposium Pg126). I agree with Pausanias …

…be good or bad depending on the performing. The two kinds of love, heavenly and common are the same loves with different names and nothing changes in meaning. Also it doesn’t matter whether a love is open or not. The love of some materialistic features are not bad until you exceed some limit value. And at last lovers must question themselves and their relation to make their relation more steady. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** Plato: Symposium
