Socrates and Diotima : Sexuality, Religion, and the Nature of Divinity. - 1st ed. - 1 online resource (245 pages) - Breaking Feminist Waves Series . - Breaking Feminist Waves Series .

Drawing on Socrates' Symposium, Nye advances this notion by not only exploring the original religious meaning of Diotima's teaching but also how that meaning has been lost throughout time.
