The Phaedrus is closely connected with the Symposium, and may be
regarded either as introducing or following it. The two Dialogues
together contain the whole philosophy of Plato on the nature of
love, which in the Republic and in the later writings of Plato is
only introduced playfully or as a figure of speech. But in the
Phaedrus and Symposium love and philosophy join hands, and one is
an aspect of the other. The spiritual and emotional part is
elevated into the ideal, to which in the Symposium mankind are
described as looking forward, and which in the Phaedrus, as well as
in the Phaedo, they are seeking to recover from a former state of
existence. Whether the subject of the Dialogue is love or rhetoric,
or the union of the two, or the relation of philosophy to love and
to art in general, and to the human soul, will be hereafter
considered. And perhaps we may arrive at some conclusion such as
the following-that the dialogue is not strictly confined to a
single subject, but passes from one to another with the natural
freedom of conversation.
