Talk:Metaxy

Lead Text

I think the lead text to this article should have a less academic, rather more colloquial, tone. Connecting the concept to Diotima trough Socrates, should give more emphasis on Diotima view of platonic love, or the 'philosophy of love', as Socrates called it, as a way to reach a higher state of knowledge to overcome the limitations of language as a medium to understand reality without prejudice. See Wikipedia article on Diotime role in Symposium by Plato to a clear view of this.--Wcris (talk) 01:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Voegelin?

This article contained some very... unusual prose about oral traditions that it claimed were in Plato's Symposium. This apears to have been a non-obvious interpretation, so I have removed it, as it was uncited. Possibly from Eric Voegelin?

This does seem to be a case where an ancient Greek word that held little significance philosophically is interpreted in a different way by a contemporary philosopher, so I've restructured the article based on that assumption. - car chasm (talk) 05:34, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
