Project Gutenberg 2011-03-18 Public domain in the USA. 72 Plato -428 -348 Πλάτων Gounaris, K. Γούναρης, Κ. Φαίδρος Phaedrus Produced by Sophia Canoni. Book provided by Iason Konstntinides "Φαίδρος" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in the 4th century BC. The work explores intricate themes of love, rhetoric, and the nature of the soul through a conversation primarily between Socrates and Phaedrus, addressing both the philosophical importance of beauty and the art of persuasive speaking. The opening of "Φαίδρος" sets the scene with Socrates encountering Phaedrus as he walks outside the city to discuss a speech by Lysias, which Phaedrus carries with him. The dialogue quickly transitions into a critical evaluation of Lysias’s argument regarding love: Lysias contends that the beloved should favor the non-lover over the lover. Socrates critiques this view, feeling compelled to offer a better perspective on love, and thus embarks on his own discourse about the nature of love, beauty, and the importance of philosophical inquiry in achieving truth and excellence in rhetoric. This careful unpacking of rhetorical skills and their ethical implications establishes the ground for the intertwined philosophical themes throughout the text.
