Abstract

This paper approaches the subject of the complex beginning of Phaedrus relating it to the presentation of the sensible-intelligible Platonic theme starting from the myth narrated by Stesíchoros. We will study the erotic manía as a form of knowledge, and the relationship mýthos-lógos preserved by Plato in his reflections about difficult matters in the epistemological field, such as the anámnesis, that indicate the limit of the propositional lógos.
