Is there someone out there, made just for us — our lost half, waiting to be found so we can finally feel whole? This timeless idea of true love and soulmates runs through our entire culture... but did you know it comes from Plato?In The Symposium, one of his most beautiful dialogues, Plato stages a series of speeches about love, blending myth, philosophy, and the search for eternity. From Aristophanes' famous myth of split souls to Socrates' spiritual vision of love as a desire for truth rather than the body, this video explores two radically different ways of understanding love — both still shaping our deepest hopes and disappointments today.Is true love meant to last forever? Or is it just desire doomed to fade? Can we ever love eternally... or only long for eternity?The debate has been open for 2500 years... and it concerns us all. Hosted on Acast.
