Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Symposium and Thucidides


1
Symposium and Thucidides
  • Round Two

2
Symposium
  • In what ways does Socrates speech in praise of
    Love differ from all the previous ones?
  • Make a list, from lowest to highest, of the
    proper objects of Love (according to Diotima).

3
Ideal Beauty?
4
Satyrs, Symposium, and Alcibiades
5
Symposium
  • Why do you think Plato ended the Symposium with
    Alcibiades speech? (Whats so special about it
    that it should come after Socrates own speech?)

6
The Melian Dialogues
  • Why does Athens insist that the only precondition
    for discussion is the self-interest of the
    Melians? How do the Athenians meet each argument
    the Melians advance, keeping in mind this
    precondition?
