基于爱情心理重读柏拉图《会饮》

Rereading Plato’s “Symposium” Based on Love Psychology

柏拉图《会饮》作为哲学美学的重要篇目,同时也是值得反复研读的爱情心理学经典。本文通过文本细读结合历史文献的方法,认为柏拉图式的爱欲隐匿于身体与灵魂、感性与理性、苏格拉底不同的人格、男人与女人中,而爱欲本相的显现需要经由苏格拉底发言汇集而成。爱之本相的显现关涉到柏拉图的政治意图。柏拉图理解的爱之本相就是哲人,哲人的任务是引领城邦前进的,目标是至美至善的真理。

Plato’s “Symposium” is an important chapter in philosophical aesthetics and also a classic love psychology worth repeatedly studying. This article, through a close reading of the text and the combination of historical literature, argues that Platonic lust is hidden in the body and soul, sensibility and reason, Socrates’ different personalities, men and women, and the manifestation of the essence of lust needs to be gathered through Socrates’ speech. The manifestation of the essence of love is related to Plato’s political intentions. Plato’s understanding of the essence of love is that of a philosopher, whose task is to lead the city forward, and whose goal is the truth of beauty and goodness.
