Abstract
Both nowadays and in the time of Plato the love and pursuit of wisdom is a means of achieving thorough well-being due to the practice of self-teaching, educating the mind and training the body. The ultimate goal of philosophical education is to achieve divine status (homoiosis theo), which is the true sense of human life. Philosophy belongs to the social and intellectual elite. Only those who are sufficiently prepared may admire and experience the influence of Eros’ teaching. The initiation into philosophy has the traits of emotional, erotic and religious mysterium, and therefore lies within reach of few.
