DESCRIPTION

Translator Alexander Nehamas: ‘… eros, first approached as the desire to possess sexually the body of another person, turns out to be a desire for immorality, for wisdom, and for the contemplation of an object which is not in any way bodily or physical... it leads to 'true virtue,' (and when) properly channeled, not simply to gratification but to the good life.'
