About the book: 1993 / In the dialogue "Phaedrus" there are only two interlocutors, sitting peacefully under plane trees near the Ilis River, which almost dried up in the summer. This is Socrates and Phaedrus. The topic of their conversation is reminiscent of “The Symposium”, although there is no search for the essence of love, but its frantic, insane side is revealed, its role in the formation of the soul on the paths of good and in the creation of true philosophy, and not empty eloquence.
