发帖数: 1 | 3 Platonic love (often lower-cased as platonic[1]) is a term used for a type
of love that is non-sexual. It is named after Plato, though the philosopher
never used the term himself.
Platonic love is examined in Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, which has as
its topic the subject of love or Eros generally. It explains the
possibilities of how the feeling of love began and how it has evolved—both
sexually and non-sexually. Of particular importance is the speech of
Socrates, who attributes to the prophetess Diotima an idea of platonic love
as a means of ascent to contemplation of the divine. For Diotima, and for
Plato generally, the most correct use of love of human beings is to direct
one's mind to love of divinity.
In short, with genuine platonic love, the beautiful or lovely other person
inspires the mind and the soul and directs one's attention to spiritual
things. Pausanias, in Plato's "Symposium" (181b-182a), explained two types
of love or Eros—Vulgar Eros or earthly love and Divine Eros or divine love.
Vulgar Eros is nothing but mere material attraction towards a beautiful
body for physical pleasure and reproduction. Divine Eros begins the journey
from physical attraction i.e. attraction towards beautiful form or body but
transcends gradually to love for Supreme Beauty. This concept of Divine Eros
is later transformed into the term Platonic love.
In Middle Ages arose a new interest in Plato, his philosophy and his view of
love. This was caused by Georgios Gemistos Plethon during the Councils of
Ferrara and Firenze in 1438-1439. Later in 1469 Marsilio Ficino put forward
a theory of neo-platonic love in which he defines love as a personal ability
of an individual which guides their soul towards cosmic processes and lofty
spiritual goals and heavenly ideas. (De Amore, Les Belles Lettres, 2012.)
The first use of the modern sense of Platonic love is taken as an invention
of Ficino in one of his letters.
Though Plato's discussions of love originally centered on relationships
which were sexual between members of the same sex, scholar Todd Reeser
studies how the meaning of platonic love in Plato's original sense underwent
a transformation during the Renaissance, leading to the contemporary sense
of nonsexual heterosexual love.[2]
The English term dates back to William Davenant's The Platonic Lovers (
performed in 1635); a critique of the philosophy of platonic love which was
popular at Charles I's court. It is derived from the concept in Plato's
Symposium of the love of the idea of good which lies at the root of all
virtue and truth. For a brief period, Platonic love was a fashionable
subject at the English royal court, especially in the circle around Queen
Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. Platonic love was the theme of
some of the courtly masques performed in the Caroline era—though the
fashion soon waned under pressures of social and political change.
