Faidro kalba Platono „Puotoje“: „khaos“ ir „erōs“
Phaedrus’ Speech in Plato’s Symposium: Khaos and Erōs

Summary/Abstract: This article continues and contributes to the discussion (in the previous issue of this journal) of publications devoted to the Phaedrus or to his speech at the „Symposium“. It highlights the understanding of Eros as the principle that unites contradictions, as including the ecstatic aspect of going outside oneself, and as identical with Dasein. This article draws on Heidegger’s understanding of the Greek system of thought, which brings to the fore the fundamental ‚mystical’ relation of the One and the Many, and its related understanding – that of the tragic sense of the cosmos – in order to interpret Phaedrus’ representation of Eros. At the same time, the aim is to delve more deeply into the meaning of the Symposium as a whole, and to show where and why Phaedrus’ speech occupies a place in its „structure“.
