浅探古希腊哲学与酒的关系

A Research of the Relationship Between Greek Philosophy and Wine

古希腊是西方文明的发源地,古希腊哲学在世界哲学史中也是巨擘级的存在。古希腊人又嗜酒,葡萄酒在古希腊社会充当着水的替代品,因此,"会饮"也成为古希腊独特而盛行的娱乐休闲方式之一。参加会饮的宾客多为当时的社会精英,因而会饮中谈论的主题也多是深刻而美好的。现存于世关于会饮而作的古典文,最著名的两篇就是柏拉图和色诺芬两人各自所作的《会饮篇》,二人都以恩师苏格拉底为主角,探讨关于"美"和"爱"的话题,由此而引发出苏格拉底式的哲学。现从柏拉图的《会饮篇》入手,浅探古希腊时代"酒"与"哲学"二者的关系,了解当时民众的社会生活,领略古希腊哲学神秘而诱人的魅力。
