O amor paradoxal nos discursos pronunciados no fedro platônico: uma possível articulação entre Eros, Manía e Sophrosýne

Abstract

The scope of our research is the investigation of the issue of Eros in Phaedrus by Plato. Our central questions concerns about the possibility of articulation among eros, manía and sophrosýne in the context of the discourses uttered in that dialogue. The discussion about the place of eros in the platonic thought is a fundamental issue to the comprehension of the Athenian’s oeuvre. Despite it has been very reviewed for several commentators, this issue keeps alive and, for us, it is showed as one of the possibilites of betting in a reading of complemetarity between platonic texts. The platonic ouevre is represented in our understanding as an exercise of thought in which the invitation to become devoted to this exercise is thrown to the reader, dialogue after dialogue. In this purpose , it is proposed multiple themes (love, justice, rhetoric, knowledge, among other not less important), a method, namely, the dialetic and a guiding project which is the dedication to the comprehension of the unchangeable, once it is impossible to the thinker that we know what is changeable for its obvious irregularity. Our path will visit the three discourses present in Phaedrus, from the elements of contente, form and dramatization of each of them, reflexions on the comprehension of the platonic eros, manía and sophrosýne.
