Abstract

In this article I try to show that there isn’t a total hierarchy in the theory of platonic love, from two key passages of Socrates’ palinode in the Phaedrus. The position of active and passive, respectively related to erastes (lover) and eromenos (beloved), loses field in Phaedrus, from the moment in which Socrates defends a
reciprocity, intrinsic to the loving movement, in a manner so unavoidable. Lover and beloved are a mirror of each other. From a certain stage of the relationship, they become one and the same desiring and erotic person, starting, thus, to the quest for the truly existent knowledge.
