Main Article Content
This paper aims to summarize the characterization of the human soul given by Plato’sPhaedrus. To this end we have focused on the allegory of the winged chariot depicted inthe palinode, considering its dramatic context and analyzing it in detail. The result isdefinitely significant: the founder of the Academy, well-known for his asceticism and hiscontinuous effort to favor reason and the intellect, offers an original image of the humansoul, which sets éros as its core and as its vital principle. Substantially, the human soul isdesire and, similarly, its most preeminent part, i.e. the intellect, is desire for knowledge.
