Sumario:The ideal of platonic love was demystified by Jacques Lacan at the beginning of his teaching years. Lacan tried to distinguish a demand for love which is directed toward the other from a desire which looks only for its satisfaction. It is not until Laca give the seminar Transference (1960–1961) that he finds in The Banquet a scandalous scene between Socrates and Alcibiades which allows a place for Eros as emergent from a place, that of deisre. This allows Lacan to distance his idea of love from the Hegelian logic which supposes that desire has at its essence the destruction of its object.
