O rozwoju platońskiego poglądu na Erosa (na podstawie wybranych dialogów)

Plato's Lysis, a comprehensive study of philia, can be treated as a prelude to the issue of eros, discussed directly in the Symposium and the Phaedrus. The ideas first introduced by Plato in the Lysis, are developed and elaborated on in the two dialogues on love. Being the first part of the Platonic story of love, the dialogue is an excellent starting point for considerations of eros, especially its synthetic, intermediary and masculine nature.
