Descrizione

In this paper, speeches of Socrates, Pausanias and Aristophanes are analysed combining them together. This analysis is performed starting from the concept of intermediate (metaxuv) which allows us to construe Pausians’ speech as preparatory with respect to Socrates’ speech, and Aristophanes’ speech as its denial. Indeed, the concept of intermediate is applied to Eros 1) in embryo in Pausianas’ speech (which finally distinguishes two kinds of Eros) and 2) openly in Socrates’ speech. In this regard, the two speeches are connected and they show a progression 1) from a strictly practical and ethical-behavioural level (Pausanias’ speech) 2) to a theorical-metaphysical level based on Eros’ nature (Socrates’ speech). Aristophanes, on the other hand, defines Eros as a desire of total fusion, his view is corrected and downscaled by Socrates enforcing the concept of intermediate.
