Collating ancient books in his later years: Plato and Aristotle were the most influential ancient Greek philosophers in five years, among which Plato had a great influence on later generations. Plato wrote a book in the mouth of his teacher Socrates, saying that when the mind abandons the body and yearns for truth, then thought is the best. When the soul is infected by the sins of the body, people's desire for truth will not be satisfied. In Europe, there has long been Platonic love called "spiritual love" by China people. This kind of love thinks that the combination of flesh is impure and dirty, and that love and lust are two opposite States. Therefore, when a person is really in love, it is impossible to think of physical union with the object he loves. In today's people's eyes, Plato's view of love is incredible. On the other hand, an American scholar put forward a new view on Plato's love as understood by modern people. Ella Rice, president of the American East-West Social Society and author of American Family System, believes that the spiritual love advocated by Plato actually refers to a kind of love between the same sex, that is, "homosexuality"! The ancient Greeks believed that the process of homosexuality was more of a spiritual communication, a spiritual communication than a physical communication. In the ancient Greek society where women received little education, it was difficult for men to find spiritual opponents from women. This is why Plato emphasized the love between people. Plato firmly believes that "true" love is a persistent emotion, only time is the touchstone of love, and only extraordinary love can stand the test of time. American sociologists have different opinions about whether Platonic love is pure love with only spiritual intercourse or elegant love with physical intercourse but emphasizing spiritual intercourse. But one thing is certain, that is, Plato believed that love can sublimate people. He said that for a person who lives a noble life, it is not blood, honor and wealth that guide his behavior, but love. There is no emotion in the world so deeply rooted in people's hearts as love. A person in love will not be as pale as his lover if he acts disgracefully and is seen by his father, friends or anyone else. Platonic love, named after Plato, a western philosopher, is a kind of spiritual love between the opposite sex, which pursues spiritual communication and rejects sensuality. It was first put forward by Marsilio Ficino in15th century. As a synonym of Socrates' love, it is used to refer to the love relationship between Socrates and students. Plato believes that when the mind abandons the body and yearns for the truth, then thought is the best. When the soul is infected by the sins of the body, people's desire for truth will not be satisfied. When human beings have no strong demand for sensuality, their mood is peaceful. Carnal desire is the expression of animal nature in human nature, and it is also the nature of every creature. People are so-called higher animals because human nature is stronger than animal nature. Spiritual communication is beautiful and moral. Platonic love has the following meanings: 1 Ideal view of love (metaphor for extremely romantic or impossible view of love) II. Pure spiritual love, not physical love. Love concept of equality between men and women 4. There is only one person in this world, and she (he) and you (you) are perfect. In other words, everyone has his perfect partner, and there is only one. The first meaning is the most commonly used, but it is actually a misunderstanding. But since everyone uses it this way, it's another meaning. This misunderstanding comes from Plato's masterpiece The Republic. This book discusses how to build an ideal country, because it may be too idealistic to be realized, so some people use it to explain what Platonic love is. The second meaning is often used, but it is basically a misunderstanding. This misunderstanding comes from Plato's metaphysics. He thinks that what we think is real, and what we see is not real. The third and fourth meanings are really Plato's view of love or gender. Plato believes that people are in the most real conceptual world before and after death. In this world, everyone is a complete man and woman, and in this world, we are all divided into two. So people always feel that if they lose something, they will try to find their own "other half" (this word also comes from Plato's theory). Plato also used this to explain why people have "relationships". In his theory, no half is more important, so men and women are equal. Moreover, the original half of you in the conceptual world is the perfect object for you. He/she is somewhere in the world looking for you/you.
