Abstract

El presente trabajo analiza los discursos de Sócrates y Alcibíades en el Banquete de Platón. Aquél presenta lo que suele considerarse como concepción platónica del amor, narrando la conversación que mantuvo con Diotima de Mantinea, en la que se considera a Eros como una fuerza que impulsa al amante hacia lo abstracto e inteligible. Alcibíades, en cambio, aparece de repente en escena y presenta una concepción en la que el amor puede dirigirse hacia un individuo concreto que se considera irrepetible y único. The given essay analyzes the speeches by Socrates and Alcibiades in “Symposium” by Plato. The latter presents what is usually considered as platonic notion of love by giving an account of the conversation that took place with Diotima of Mantinea. In this discussion Eros is considered as a mysterious force that turns lovers´ actions into abstract and intelligible ones. However Alcibiades comes suddenly into the scene and presents a new notion in which love can be shown to a particular individual, who is considered inimitable and unique.
