Das Problem des platonischen Symposion. by August Ritter von Kleemann
"Das Problem des platonischen Symposion" by August Ritter von Kleemann is a philosophical examination written in the early 20th century. This book analyzes Plato's "Symposium," exploring the philosophical dialogues that center around the theme of love (eros) and its implications for human existence and knowledge. The work is academic in nature, dissecting the contradictions within Plato’s text, particularly in relation to other dialogues by the philosopher. In this examination, Kleemann dissects the
philosophical underpinnings of the "Symposium," particularly focusing on the nature of eros as a driving force in human life. The book outlines how various speeches within the dialogue contribute to a larger understanding of love, including the distinction between physical and intellectual love. Kleemann emphasizes the synthesis of Heraclitean and Pythagorean thought as presented in Plato's work while addressing dialogues’ contradictions regarding the soul’s immortality and how these ideas evolve. Ultimately, Kleemann aims to present a comprehensive philosophical discourse on the essence of love and the quest for immortality through intellectual and creative pursuits, culminating in the idea that true understanding and beauty foster a form of divine existence in humanity.
