In a work possibly written by this figure the "unwritten doctrine" is presented, which claims that a serious man in dealing with serious subjects "carefully avoids writing." That work, the so-called Seventh Letter, belongs to a group of works whose authenticity is questioned such as Hippias Major. In another work, this author formulates the concept of the kairos, the ability of a judge to decide between the right and wrong moment to undertake an enterprise, and thus he rejects the sovereignty of the law in Statesmen. In yet another work, a figure informs us that love is a longing for immortality, a philosophy that figure learned from a female seer named Diotima. That work by this author also sees Alcibiades barge in and interrupt a party held in honor of Agathon. For 10 points, name this ancient Greek philosopher author of the Symposium and the Republic.
