Platonic love - Платоническая любовь

Platonic love denotes spiritual affection between a m an and a woman, without mixture of what is usually called love. This pure affection was strongly advocated by Plato, a famous Greek philosopher, who lived in Athens about 427—348 В. C. Plato was a pupil of Socrates, one of the wisest men of his age. Plato delivered his lectures in a grove near Athens, called Academy (the grove was said to have belonged to the legendary hero Academus). This name was given to the school of philosophy founded by Plato. Later the word academy has come to denote a place of study, including universities. In English-speaking countries the word is generally used pretentiously or ironically of a school or of an institution between a school and a university.
