Desiderio, egoismo e individuo nel Simposio platonico

This short paper analyzes the concept of love and some of its philosophical implications in Plato's Symposium. My conjectural thesis concerns the possibility of improving the understanding of some of these problems through a simple division of platonic eros in three conceptually distinct kinds of eros. Thanks to this approach, one can better comprehend both the logical form of the desire underlying the basic structure of platonic love, and the consequences that the nature of the feedback from the desired object has on the desiring subject.
