.... and each puts in his thoughts of love as the evening wears on. Socrates’ theories of love are a little different than everyone else’s’. Being the great philosopher that he was, he had quite a different take on the issue. Socrates strove to find the truth in love. He was the “ideal lover of wisdom”, never allowing himself to divert from the real pursuit of beauty: Since beauty is one of the true and ultimate objectives of love. Socrates states that, “Love is the conciousness of a need for a good not yet acquired or possessed.” In other words we want what we do not have, and at times cannot have. Love for Socrates is a superficial occurrence and only based on the .....
