Abstract

We approach the last discourse in the Platonic Simposium the one made by Alcibiades who in extreme ethilical conditions tells us about and interprets his truth on the person of Socrates. Accounting for the discourse in regard to his character, we aim to shed some light on the cognitive capability of him whose strong passions coerce to repport what he has felt and suffered in the way of a phenomenologist.
