Plato’s Symposium
A Conversation with Marcus Gibson
Summary
Why doesn't Socrates get drunk? Is love finding your "other half"? What's the relationship between comedy and tragedy, love and immortality? Marcus Gibson, Director of the Princeton Initiative in Catholic Thought, returns to Madison's Notes to continue our journey through the Platonic dialogues with a discussion of Plato's Symposium.
Madison’s Notes is the podcast of Princeton University’s James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.
