Sample text

I point this out to highlight the importance of the recognition and validation of the other in the process of one recognizing oneself; it is this recognition that is demanded in the call of the beautiful as articulated earlier. At last Socrates gives in and delivers his first speech, of which he is ashamed. ”5 Socrates closes himself off both from Phaedrus and any other influence, including the Muses, when giving his first speech. He ends his speech quickly and realizes that he has committed a sin.

His speech, like Lysias’ before him, was directed to a young boy and attempted to convince that boy that he ought to give pleasure not to the one who loves him but to his non-lover. His sin consists in speaking slanderously against a god, in this case love (Eros). To rectify his wrongdoing, Socrates composes a second speech; it is to this speech that I now turn. THE BEAUTIFUL RECOLLECTED 17 Socrates begins the speech by articulating three kinds of madness, the third being most relevant to the content of his speech and the experience of the beautiful itself.
