If you can, please answer the following question in detail with examples. thanks!
After explaining that he true goal of love is "engendering an begetting upon the beautiful upon the beautiful," (Symposium 206e), Diotima goes on to argue that "from what has been admitted, we needs must yearn for immortality no less than for good, since love loves good to be one's own for ever. And hence it necessarily follows that love is of immortality" (207a). In climbing the ladder to the contemplation of divine beauty, as she later outlines it, what is engendered, and why is it immortal?
