ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. When the student examines whether or not Plato's conception of love allows for love between two individuals, it is important to first understand the very basic tenets of Platonic love. To develop and nurture a relationship between two people where no standard boundaries of limitation exist; to respect the need for personal individuality apart from the confining elements of traditional relationships; to create and atmosphere of spiritual trust and reverence, always remembering that the other person is not meant to be merely an extension of the relationship – is to comprehend the fundamental meaning behind Platonic love. Indeed, the student will want to assert that two people are allowed the deepest, most spiritual love based upon Plato's conception, inasmuch as the idiosyncratic requirements of typical love are conspicuously absent to provide for a more fulfilling interaction void of any possessiveness. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
