Resumo: In this paper we intend to show how in the Symposium Plato elaborates, by a sophisticated reflection on the nature of eros, an unusual anthropological conception that recognizes desire as a primal and constitutive force in the human soul (psyché). From this we try to discern how this dialogue, which presents philosophy as the most elevated manifestation of the visceral eroticism that constitutes our psyche, can be viewed as a rhetorical and apologetic text that seeks to present a vigorous defense of the philosophical life and of the man who was its most famous and brilliant exponent: Socrates.

A partir disso, tentaremos observar como esse diálogo, apresentando a filosofia como a manifestação mais elevada do erotismo visceral que constitui a nossa psykhé, pode ser visto como um texto retórico e apologético que procura efetuar uma defesa vigorosa da vida filosófica e daquele que foi seu mais célebre e brilhante expoente: Sócrates.Revista HypnosHypnos Journal2016-05-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.documenthttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/464Revista Hypnos; n. 36 (2016); 25-64Hypnos Journal; No. 36 (2016); 25-642177-53461413-9138reponame:Hypnosinstname:Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)instacron:FSBporhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/464/531https://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/464/601Copyright (c) 2016 Richard Romeiro Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Richard Romeiro2016-05-05T22:08:25Zoai:ojs.hypnos.org.br:article/464Revistahttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnosPRIhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/oairachelgazolla@gmail.com2177-53461413-9138opendoar:2023-01-13T09:47:06.559705Hypnos - Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)false
