Symposium

Más información sobre el libro

The Philebus showcases a shift in Plato's writing style, emphasizing speculative philosophy over dramatic elements. While it reflects significant advancements in abstract thought compared to earlier works, it also suffers from diminished artistic skill and character development. The dialogue features a more laborious flow, with occasional confusion and incomplete ideas. Attempts at stylistic embellishment and humor are often overshadowed by awkward expressions and disjointed connections, echoing some characteristics found in the Laws.
