Phaidros

Plato is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential philosophers in the history of thought. He contributed to the institutionalization of philosophy and the formation of the written tradition in philosophy, and was the initiator of the idealist philosophy tradition that would determine the entire medieval thought with its two-world metaphysics. Plato, who is also important in terms of his influence on Christian Medieval philosophy and Islamic thought, addressed all the problems discussed throughout the history of thought hundreds of years ago and built the first major philosophical system. Phaedrus, long thought to be Plato's first dialogue and later claimed to be his last dialogue, is not only an extraordinary work on love, affection, beauty, madness and rhetoric, but also allows us to see Plato's satire on writing. The Phaedrus dialogue takes place between Socrates and his young friend Phaedrus. Phaedrus loves listening to the speeches of orators, especially those of Lysias. He reads the texts of some of these speeches to Socrates and they begin to discuss it. Lysias' speech, in which he argues that a person should pay attention to others rather than the one who is in love with him and shows interest in him, is at the center of this debate.
