Question

how does eryximachus contribute to Plato's views on love in the text symposium?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is named after Greek philosopher Plato, though the philosopher never used the term himself. Platonic love as devised by Plato concerns rising through levels of closeness to wisdom and true beauty

from carnal attraction to individual

bodies to attraction to souls, and eventually,union with the truth.

Love itself is not wise or beautiful but is

the desire for those things. Love is expressed through propagation and reproduction: either physical love or the exchanging and reproducing of ideas. The greatest knowledge, Diotima says, is knowledge of the "form of beauty", which humans must try to achieve.
