About this listen

 In Vino Veritas is a captivating section of Kierkegaards Stages on Life’s Way, first published in 1845. Paying homage to Platos Symposium, this work invites each participant to deliver a speech on the theme of love. Renowned scholar Lee M. Hollander remarked that Kierkegaards interpretation surpasses Platos in its subtlety, richness, and humor. Yet, he cautions that Kierkegaards work teeters on the edge of improbability, given its lush observations and ornate style, in contrast to the grounded nature of Platos text. This engaging collection features characters from Kierkegaards other influential works, including Victor Eremita, Judge William, and Johannes the Seducer from Either/Or (1843) and Constantin and the Young Person from Repetition (1843). Join us as we delve into this intricate exploration of love and human experience. (Summary by Soupy)Copyright Fiction Classics Art Literary History & Criticism Philosophy Social Sciences Spirituality
