## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good translation, good notes
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2014*

The Symposium is what it is: a classic of western culture.  So, when one offers a review, it's not about the text itself (I think) but for the translation, presentation and notes.  So:  Wakefield's translation is the smoothest I've read of this great text.  His modern English makes the homoerotic context of the dialogue clear, for one thing.  I've taught this text to sleepy undergrads who were clueless about the terms "lover" and "beloved" in the speeches, assuming they were about a boy and a girl.  But the notes are where Wakefield really shines.  Wakefield gives not only a readable account of each of the speeches, a special discussion of love in Greek thought, and a literary analysis, but also a useful set of notes at the end.  Over all, this is so much better than the tired British translations we used to read in college back in the old days.

    The Eye-Opening Views on Love Make This a Must-Read
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014*

A fascinating insight on several ancient views of love, including Aristotle's in-depth analysis of what love's properties are and what it is about. The preface contains very useful contextual information while relating it to different parts of Symposium. Plato's Symposium itself reads as a story, making it a read easier than it might be otherwise. All in all, the information is well thought out and dictated to the reader in a very efficient way. As someone who enjoys casual philosophy, I recommend it to anyone else who does.

    Lots of amazing quotes to reference
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015*

This is an absolutely LOVELY piece of writing. Absolutley worth owning. Lots of amazing quotes to reference, so much knowledge and wisdom. I want to have a symposium someday when I have a bunch of smart friends. Best introduction I've ever found was in this edition. BUY IT!
