Tres discursos eróticos y dos concepciones anímicas en el Fedro de Platón

Abstract

The current paper offers a comparative analysis of the three speeches of Plato’s Phaedrus. The main aim is to show that, although in some passages of the dialogue Socrates’ words suggest the opposite, none of the speeches is totally wrong neither there is an unbridgeable contradiction among their theses. On the contrary, an attentive reading permits to understand that, even if the various theses proposed are partial, the dialogue develops them in such a way that impels the reader to integrate and surpass them in a more synthetic view of what éros and soul are.
