Philosophers by nature are inspired and moved by wonder; and, through that motion, desire only to fly to the truth. For the love of and friendship with truth and wisdom are both the beginning and the end of philosophy. And there can be few subjects of greater import to the philosophic soul than those contained in this small volume; concerning the nature of Soul and souls, that of Beauty and the beautiful, and that which perpetually binds the two together, with a vital bond more real and adamantine than all passion and desire, that is, Love.
