Dividing Madness and the Appearances of Eros in the Phaedrus

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The criteria behind the dialogue’s criticism of writing and the argument for the superiority of spoken over written λóγος is applied to Lysias’s and Socrates’s speeches on Eros and madness and Phaedrus’s and Socrates’s critical examination of these speeches. The argument is made that the dialogue’s dramatic portrayal of both these speeches and their examination present written word images that conjure up in the soul of the reader Socrates’s and Phaedrus’s original spoken λóγος. It follows from this that the criteria for assessing their λóγος should be that which that λóγος presents with regard to distinguishing good and bad speech, not good and bad writing (which are not investigated in the dialogue). In line with this, the inconsistencies between the divisions of madness and the appearances of Eros in the speeches and their examination in the dialogue point not to a deficiency in Plato’s writing but to the original investigation of the community of madness and Eros in Socrates’s and Phaedrus’s spoken λóγος. Interpreted thusly, the community in question is established not by argument but by its appearance in the λóγος of the Lover Socrates and his Beloved Phaedrus. This appearance is one that the reader may share in, insofar as the dialogue’s written word images serve as reminders to the reader of the knowledge they already possess of Eros’s community with madness and its source in the beauty of the face and body parts of their Beloved.
