Abstract

Lysis –dialogue of Plato's youth as a writer– represents the first approach of the Athenian
philosopher to the theme of love, and it is precisely in this text that a conceptual tension appears
between eros and philia, which does not seem to have a definitive solution in the course of his
writing and argumentation. The text is open to an aporetic and doctrinal rethinking that will have a
certain continuity in the Symposium and in the Phaedrus, but taken as a piece in itself, it seems to have other implications outside the main thematic focus. In this research, his argumentative
phenomenology will be presented as its essential problematization.
