The Truth About Greek Sex-Plato Style

Recommended Posts

Interesting article (and book) about Plato, which sheds new light on his idea of love.

 

 

Plato lent his name to Platonic love but a new book reveals that the ancient Greek philosopher never advocated love without sex.
 
Dr Jay Kennedy: Image-Uni of Manchester
University of Manchester science historian Dr Jay Kennedy, who hit the headlines last year after revealing he had cracked the code in the great thinker’s writings, has now published a decoder’s manual that lays bare the secret content of Plato’s ancient works.
 
“Plato – the Einstein of Greece’s Golden Age – was long thought to favour love without sex, or ‘Platonic love’, but this new research reveals Plato was far from being a prude,” says Dr Kennedy, who is based in the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, part of the University’s Faculty of Life Sciences.
