So... Love is touching little boys?

sage but just in case anyone is clicking this thread:

Please read Symposium.

No it's being a sphere person you illiterate mong

Socrates displays his virtue by not actually fucking his beloved Alcibiades, much to the horny consternation of the latter. It's right there near the end of the dialogue. Read the Symposium, though, it's lovely.

>>9436297

This is the most beautiful book of the past, the present and the future.

>>9436297
Love is being a philosopher

Its a circlejerk self-congratulatory piece of crap

>>9436325

Socrates there is the beloved and Alcibiades the lover (there's role inversion). He does not love him back, which is the reason why Alcibiades' drunken speech is heart breaking

>by some abstract law socrates is virtuous because he didnt fuck somebody

Who determines he is virtuous? Himself? What a load of shit

>>9436339

Shut the fuck up and read the actual book you uneducated fedora-tipping waste of sperm in a woman's vagina

>>9436350
Not an argument.

>>9436332
well yeah in that specific aspect there's an ironic inversion but in the more general practice of Athenian pederasty Socrates plays the role of the lover (which is the precondition of the ironic inversion)

Wow, I didn't know the new season of Sherlock was coming out this soon

>>9436369
Not an argument.

>tfw no 10/10 trap to deprive of attention in bed

Symposium is honestly one of the funniest books I've ever read. The ending where I imagine Socrates talking about poetry to a washed out, drunk af Agathon and Aristodemus the morning after the party always gets me.

I don't know what containment board you're supposed to be on, but go back there.

>>9436560
this. Laugh out loud funny too, unlike most books. For some reason when Socrates bursts out with a "Good God!" after Alcibiades shows up, I can't control myself.

Why is Socrates portrayed as superhuman?

It's just your average poltardian teenager.
