Abstract

What is the relationship between virtues and values? Plato investigates this question in the Symposium. He does this, however, in a rather oblique way, by means of narrative and rhetoric. This paper claims that Plato criticizes one of Athens’ most cherished values, honour, and that he in general maintains that values should be subordinated to the virtues.
