This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, one of the great works of literature from the ancient world, focused on the nature of love.

This lecture focuses specifically on the speech made by Agathon, examining the argument he makes that Love is actually the master of all of the four cardinal virtues - Temperance, Courage, Justice, and Wisdom
