Phaedrus is one of Plato's best-loved dialogues, remarkable as a
work of both philosophy and poetry. Lured into the countryside by
the promise of a new speech, Socrates sits in the shade and talks
with Phaedrus, a young amateur rhetorician. After Phaedrus recites
a speech on love, Socrates delivers two speeches of his own,
contrasting the baneful love induced by human folly with love as
the divinely inspired blessing of holy madness. Interwoven is a
discussion on rhetoric and its relation to truth. Full of charm and
gentle irony, Phaedrus is an engaging celebration of love as the
path to wisdom.
